Why can't I download my video onto my iPhone or iPad?

Apple's iOS does not allow videos to be downloaded from Safari. You can get the video on your phone through one of the following ways:

  1. Download your video from a browser on a computer and email it to yourself on Gmail. The Gmail app on iPhones allows the option of directly downloading videos.
  2. You can download the video on your computer and transfer it to your phone via iTunes. Once it's in your camera roll you will be able to upload it onto other apps such as Instagram.
  3. From the Download Options page, save your video to Google Drive or Dropbox instead of downloading it to your phone. Then use either app to download it to your phone or share to social media.

The video file is too large to share via email, how can I reduce the size?

You can the select a smaller file size in the Download Options page by clicking on the smaller size version. You can also reduce the duration from this page, which will make the video smaller in size.

Why does the video not play completely?

If you click the play button on a video that you have saved in your My Stuff, it will start to load a 5 second preview. To view the entire video, open your design in the editor. We only show full-length previews of templates in the Gallery.

Can I embed my purchased videos in blogs and web pages?

The ability to embed is not available at this time, but we are working on it.

Why is my video download blurry on Facebook?

Facebook compresses video uploads, even if they're HD, for more efficient playback. You can try to change your Facebook settings to "HD if available", otherwise it will play in Facebook's default setting. You can also try to upload the "low" or "medium" quality, for faster playback.
