> TL;DR: Type "Show the product above me" and Vidiyo stacks your screen recording or product shot in the top part of the frame and puts you in a rounded card below, without cropping the interface. The layout can animate in when you start talking about the product and back to full frame afterwards.

## What to say

Category: Layout

## What Vidiyo does

1. Places the product footage on its own layer above you, fitted so no controls or text are cropped.
2. Moves your clip into a rounded card on the lower part of the frame, with your face kept in it.
3. Starts the product on the words where you name it, not after.
4. Animates between full frame and the split when the topic changes, if you ask.
5. Moves captions so they don't cover the product or your face, then checks the frames.

Product demos need two things on screen at once: the product, readable, and you, explaining it. This prompt arranges both in one frame, the way most creator demos are laid out.

## What does Vidiyo do when you say this?

Vidiyo puts your screen recording or product shot in the top part of the frame and moves you into a rounded card below. The product is fitted rather than cropped, so buttons and text stay visible. It starts on the words where you name the product, and captions move so they cover neither the screen nor your face.

There are no fixed layout presets. Each picture is a layer with its own box, corner radius, border and shadow, and the assistant animates between arrangements with keyframes. That means it can slide you into the card when you start the demo and back to full frame when you return to the camera. You can then select any layer and adjust it by hand.

## How do you phrase it?

Say what goes where, and when:

- "Show the product above me"
- "Screen recording on top, me in a card below, only during the demo"
- "Put me in a small circle in the bottom corner over the screen"
- "Side by side: the app on the left, me on the right"
- "Slide into the split when I say 'let me show you'"

Quoting the line where the demo starts gives the cleanest timing.

## How would you do this by hand?

By hand, you'd put the screen recording on a track above your camera clip, scale and position both, add a mask with rounded corners to yours, maybe a border and shadow, and keyframe the transition in and out. Then you'd move captions for that section. It's standard work in a traditional editor, and it takes a while to get the boxes and corners right.

## What should you check afterwards?

Read the smallest text in the screen recording on a phone-sized preview. If it's too small, ask Vidiyo to punch in on the part of the screen you're talking about, or give the product more of the frame. Check that your face stays inside the card when you move. For callouts on specific buttons, ask for a circle or arrow on the word.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to set up tracks or layouts first?

No. Import the screen recording or product footage, then ask. The assistant adds the layer, boxes and keyframes itself, and you can adjust them by hand afterwards.

### Can I have picture-in-picture instead?

Yes. Ask for "me in a small circle in the corner" and you get a round bubble with a border over the product. That works when the product matters more than your face.

### Does this work in landscape too?

Yes. In 16:9 the assistant usually puts the product and you side by side or uses picture-in-picture, since stacking is a vertical layout.
