How to make video memes
Step 1. Import videos or select stock footage

You can also use free stock media like video clips, video backgrounds, and stock music. Click on the content library tab on the toolbar and click on the visuals drop down arrow, then videos, GIPHY, or backgrounds. Search through the different stock categories using the search bar as well.
Drag and drop your videos from the your media tab onto the timeline.

To add text, click on the text tab on the toolbar. Scroll through our title options to find the meme text under the special text category. Drag and drop the meme title onto the timeline above the video media. Customize your text by clicking on the text tab on the property panel. Inside the text tab, you can edit your meme text, font, size, stroke width, background colors, and text color.
Step 3. Preview and save your video
Before saving your new meme video, make sure to preview by clicking on the play button. When you’re ready to save, click on the export button and select a video resolution.
