An Overlay in the Fiesta Software is a decorative frame that sits on top of your captures, and can be applied to Photo, GIF, Boomerang, Video, or 360 captures.
Overlays have no background, and are fully transparent where your guests' captures will show through from beneath the design, while the Overlay design sits on top of the capture.
Each Overlay contains a single Placeholder layer, which is a fixed layer indicating where a guest's capture will automatically appear once the capture is taken. Unlike in Photo Templates, Placeholder layers in Overlays cannot be added, removed, resized, or repositioned.
If the size of the Overlay is adjusted, the capture size will also be automatically adjusted by the Fiesta Software to fit the Overlay design when a capture is taken.
How To
The Overlay Editor can be accessed by clicking the Design Studio within Fiesta.
To create an Overlay:
- Log in to Fiesta
- Select Design Studio
- Select Create Design in the upper right
- Under the Single Capture section, select the orientation
- If selecting Landscape or Portrait orientation, select the size
From here you can use the Design Studio Editor to change text, add art assets, and further customize the selected design.
