Layout Hints
Layouts present different options and views for your post. When you switch between layouts, you will find hints and tips directly below the "Layouts" header, which contain useful information on which content will go best with the chosen layout. Here is a short breakdown of the hints available:
Video layouts (both videos and photos can be uploaded):
- 🚀 Gets faster with more media - the more media files you upload into your post, the faster the slides in the post will change (and the overall duration time of the post remains pretty much the same).
- ⟹ Gets longer with more media - contrary to the previous one, more content results in extending the overall post duration
- ⟹ Gets longer with more media. Best with 9-12 / 3-5 and 🎥/ Great for landscape media / 🎥 Great for 2-5 videos / ⭐️ Best with 3-5 media - same as the previous hint, except for such layouts we will recommend the ideal number of media files and the type or format of the content for the best outcome
- ⭐️ Upload your own media to post with Alkai - such layouts are "Media only", meaning they will only showcase your uploaded media content without any text or overlays whatsoever; more information available here: https://help.alkai.ai/en/article/alkais-media-only-layout-6qxz3k/
- ⭐️ Best with 9 media - no specific instructions elsewhere, just a recommended number of media files
- 5️⃣ 🎥 📷 Best with 5 media. (5 max) - in such layouts, the number of uploaded media files should not exceed the set maximum. The icons define which type of content (photo and/or video) you can upload
Photo layouts (only images can be uploaded):
- 📷 Single image - the layout accepts only 1 image and won't show more images, even if you uploaded more
- 3️⃣ 📷 Best with 3 images - we recommend the ideal number of photos for the best outcome
- ⭐️ Upload your own image to post with Alkai - such layouts are "Media only", meaning they will only showcase your uploaded imagery without any text or overlays whatsoever; more information available here: https://help.alkai.ai/en/article/alkais-media-only-layout-6qxz3k/
