How-to Add Overlays, MP3s/MP4s. Effects, Graphics


LumaBooth works with the iPad/iPhone's built-in FILES app to allow you to add components (overlays, mp3s/mp4s, effects, and graphics).
​

The files app allows you to choose from files on your iPad, iCloud, Google Drive and downloads.
​
You upload the files to iCloud, Google Drive, or AirDrop then choose them directly from within LumaBooth.
​
This also organizes your files as you can have different folders for each of templates, gif overlays, start screens, etc...
​

  2. Click on iCloud Drive.
    ​

  3. Upload or drag and drop your file into iCloud Drive.
    ​

    ​

Adding files that are in the Photos App

If you download an image from the internet on the iPad/iPhone, Safari will save images to the photos app.
​
Files that are currently in the photos app (photo roll) will need to be copied to the FILES app on your iPad.
​
This method is not recommended as it does not work with PNG files if you need a transparent overlay.

  1. Open Photos app.
    ​

  2. Hold your finger down on your file then click SHARE.
    ​

  3. Select the files you want to save to the Files app.
    ​

  4. Scroll down and choose Save to Files.
    ​

  5. Open LumaBooth and go to where you want that file to be uploaded to (gif overlay, virtual attendant mp4, video soundtrack, green screen background, etc).
    ​

  6. Click Choose. On the left side of the Files Dialog box choose On My iPad.
    ​

  7. Select your file.
    ​

The old method of importing files (mentioned in the articles below) has also changed to follow the instructions above.
