Pop-out cuts you out of your camera recording and places you in front of a smaller camera frame. Use it to add depth while keeping your original camera background or replacing it with a colour.

Turn on Pop-out

  1. Open your video and click Layout.
  2. Choose a layout that shows your camera inside a frame, such as Camera Bubble or a centered camera-only layout.
  3. Turn on Pop-out in the layout controls.
You can also open Customize layout and turn on Pop-out under Camera style. The effect applies to the current base layout or layout section.
Pop-out needs a clip with a camera recording and a layout that frames it. It is unavailable for screen-only and full-frame camera layouts.

Customize the frame

Open Customize layout and use the Pop-out settings:
  • Background: choose Original to keep your camera recording inside the frame, or Colour to use a solid fill.
  • Colour: choose the frame colour when Background is set to Colour.
  • Pop-out amount: control how far the frame drops behind you.
  • Outline: adjust the frame outline width. Increase it above 0% to reveal Outline colour.
  • Outline colour: choose the colour of the frame outline.
Use Camera style to switch the frame between Circle, Square, Landscape, and Portrait. Pop-out keeps the selected shape as you adjust the other settings. The frame’s corners follow the Shape you chose in the Style tool (Square, Round, or Squircle), so a Square camera style can give you a sharp, rounded, or squircle frame to match your other layers. See Borders.
Add a shadow from the Style tool to make the frame stand out from the canvas. The shadow follows the Pop-out frame’s shape.

Use Pop-out with other layouts

Pop-out stays enabled when you switch between compatible framed-camera layouts. A Cut-out layout removes the frame completely, so choosing it turns Pop-out off. If you turn on Pop-out while using Cut-out, Tella changes the camera to a square frame first. To reuse the result in other videos, save the layout to Favorites from Customize layout. See Custom layouts for the complete workflow.
