Shape Overlays — Icons & Emojis

Add expressive graphics and visual accents to your videos using iviCut's built-in icon and emoji libraries.

Emoji & Icon Libraries

  • Emoji Picker: Browse an extensive collection of standard emojis to drop onto your timeline.
  • Icon Picker: Choose from a library of PNG icons for more professional graphic overlays.

Customization & Styling

Shapes offer the same high-level control as text and image overlays:

  • Scaling: Adjust size using proportional scaling (0.2× to 5×) while maintaining a strict 1:1 aspect ratio.
  • Positioning: Use 9-point presets or drag manually on the canvas.
  • Backgrounds & Borders: Add an optional background with adjustable color, opacity, padding, and corner radius.

Timing & Animation

Set the exact moment a shape appears and disappears using timing controls and entrance/exit animations. On the timeline, shape overlays are displayed as teal-themed tracks.
