Building a Smart Vid from a blank slate means figuring out the logic, the flow, the CTAs, and the decision points all at once β before you've even started on your content.
Smart Vid Templates change that. Every time you create a new Smart Vid, you can now start from a proven template instead of zero. If it's your first SmartVid, you'll also get a guided onboarding experience with a real-world demo so you can see exactly what a high-converting interactive video looks like before you build one. Either way, the structure is already there β you just make it yours.
π What's New
Templates Available at Every Smart Vid Creation
