- Shape
- For a bubble: Circle, Rounded or Square. For a card beside the recording: the recording’s own corners, or a circle, rounded or square.
- Ring
- A ring outside the camera, so it never crops the picture. Simple offers None, Thin and Thick.
- Shadow
- How strongly the camera casts a shadow. It scales with the camera’s size.
- Mirror
- Flips the camera left to right. Off is what others see, and is right when there is text in shot.
- Framing
- Crops into the camera picture itself, separate from the camera’s size. Crop on the canvas does it on the preview, on Studio.
- Appears and disappears
- Fade, Scale or Slide, for when a layout brings the camera in or takes it away.

There are 15 layouts.Move and resize your cameraClick your camera on the preview and drag it anywhere, or pull its handles to resize it. It snaps to the frame’s edges, centre and thirds.Border and RGB glowGive the recording a thin line or a pane of glass around its edge, or an animated ring of colour.
