You can fully customize your video Gif preview thumbnails

Access Gif preview customization settings

  1. Click on "Brand Kit" on the left side of your Potion account

  2. Click the purple "Change Gif preview" button

Play button shape

Use the drop down menu to select "Circle", "Square" or "No button"

Play button style

Use the drop down menu to toggle between an outline or a solid play button - this changes the style of the triangle located within the play button

Play button opacity

Use the drop down menu to select the percentage of opacity for your play button - this will make your play button more or less transparent, depending on the percentage you select

0% opacity means fully transparent and 100% opacity means fully opaque.

Text banner style

Use the drop down menu to select "With timer", "Without timer" or "no banner"

With timer: A banner will appear in your GIF preview and in your video for an amount of time set by you

Without timer: A banner will appear in your GIF preview as well throughout the entirety of your video

No banner: This option means you'll have no banner in your GIF preview or video

Text banner content

If you selected "With timer" or "Without timer", this is where you'll be able to type what you want your text banner to say

Note: You can utilize a dynamic field like {first_name} to have Potion populate the first name of your recipient in your text banner

After customizing these options, click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page to apply your adjustments to your GIF previews. With these options, you can create a GIF preview that perfectly complements your brand and video messaging!
