HOST: Hello guys Sorin here welcome back to our next video from our course on how to use Amazon video direct to create your own online business inside of Amazon and sell your videos directly into their huge marketplace. Now as we have talked before you will need for publishing your videos you will need some graphics some images OK like a poster and a background image. If you go into your dashboard into the product that you have created a video that you have created in the catalog listing as you have seen before you will have the key arts with 16 to 9 ratio and 3 to 4 ratio so the background image and the poster.
Now how can you create very easily these images these posters well you can use a tool that you have probably already heard about or if you haven't it's an actually great web-based platform that is for free and you can design absolutely anything with it having absolutely no skills in design it's called Canva.com so you can go to Canva.com as you see here in my browser and here you will have used custom dimensions OK .Obviously if you want to play around with Canva and see exactly how it works you have different templates and things like that but that is not interesting for us at this moment what interests us is to create a 16 to 9 background image and 3 to 4 poster now if we have a look here back into Amazon into the key art OK for the background image 16 to 9 means 1920 pixels on 1080 pixels so we go to Canva.com back we press use custom dimensions, we go 1920 pixels and 1080 pixels and then we press the button design OK and we will go into the editor so this is how the background image will look like as you see here this part and in the editor we have a lot of options we can add elements okay like photos, shapes, lines,illustrations, frames we can add our own images like uploads so if you already have an image that you have created for your video you can upload it here then pass it here.
For example let me insert this one OK edit it here then you can add some text if you want to. For example a heading as you can see everything is dragged and dropped so it works very simple you can add the heading OK how to become an Amazon video direct seller OK you can drag it a little bit you can change the fonts if you want to. For example we can use this font OK and that's about it OK after you are ready you have other options here of course but I'll let you play around with Canva when you have a little bit of time you can add different elements as I've told you before like illustrations Ok let's see here we if we find something interesting. For example we can insert this okay so it can insert different types of graphics but this was just as an example and after you are ready with your image you just change its name into whatever you want to press the button download you select what type of download you want to and both of these both of the types of downloads that you want to practically are accepted by
Amazon so no problem. For example we will select the first one OK hold tight preparing your design we are waiting right now and our design is ready, it has been downloaded.
Then we have just we just have to go to our Amazon video direct account into the catalog listing of our product we press browse ok we import our fresh downloaded image and voila we will have our image here and that's it then we press save and obviously after each of these four sections are completed in our product listing here we will press that means the images to videos the captions everything we press the button publish and they will publish our product after we press the button publish you will see product exactly like mine here.
