Compositions

Introducing Compositions: The new way to perfect your videos! Replacing the Advanced Editor, Compositions put Vouch's complete creative power in your hands. This new format is optimized for creating professional-grade video assets, utilising all the previous advanced tools and more.

What has changed?

When you log into Vouch, you'll now see a new section in your navigation called Compositions.

Compositions replaces the Advanced Editor and brings all of its functionality into a faster, easier-to-use workspace, built for creating more custom, branded videos.

You'll still find every feature you're familiar with, along with new tools like improved layering for video clips and images, audio control for background music, and animation options — all designed to give you more creative flexibility within Vouch.

Where have some of my playlists gone?

All Playlists previously created in the Advanced Editor are still available - they've simply moved to the new Compositions section in your navigation bar.

These playlists have been automatically upgraded to the new Compositions editor, so you have access to the same videos, clips and settings you're used to - now with more editing flexibility.

What is the difference between a Composition and Playlist?

• Playlists: Best for quick, repeatable storytelling moments — like testimonials, team updates, or highlight reels. Playlists let you organize and share multiple clips or highlights in a seamless sequence without heavy editing.
• Compositions: Ideal for creating more custom, on-brand videos that need creative control — like campaign stories, culture pieces, or leadership messages. In Compositions, you can layer clips, text, audio, and visuals to bring your story to life inside Vouch.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I have a Playlist I want to edit using the Advanced Editor. What is my workflow now?

The functionality of the old Advanced Editor is now part of Compositions. To access these advanced editing tools for any existing Playlist, simply click Convert to Composition.

This instantly converts your Playlist into a Composition giving you access to all the enhanced editing features - including layering, audio, animations, and more.

Will any of my existing Playlists stop working or "break" as a result of this change?

No, all your existing Playlists will continue to work exactly as before. Any Playlists previously edited in the Advanced Editor have been renamed and upgraded to Compositions, but their functionality remains unchanged. .

Do I have to create a Playlist first before creating a Composition?

No, you do not. You can easily start a brand new Composition directly from the Create menu in Vouch. If you begin with a Playlist, you will always have the option to Convert to Composition later if you need more creative flexibility.

Can I add existing videos and highlights to a Composition?

Absolutely. We’ve enabled quick access! You can now pull any video or highlight straight into your Composition using the action menu, making it faster than ever to assemble your content.

How do I edit the Thumbnail for a Composition?

To edit a thumbnail, open your Composition and select the thumbnail image. You can then update it directly. The chosen image can be used as the video's poster when downloaded.

Can I add a Composition to a Playlist?

Yes. You can add any video type, including a Composition, to a Playlist for seamless sequential playback.

When should I use a Playlist vs a Composition?

Both tools help you share stories through video — Playlists keep it simple, while Compositions give you full creative control.

• Use a Playlist when you want to quickly organize and share multiple videos or highlights in a seamless sequence. Playlists are great for quick, repeatable storytelling moments like testimonials, team updates, or highlight reels.
• Use a Composition when you want to customize your video’s look and feel. Compositions let you layer clips, text, and audio to create branded videos for campaigns, culture pieces, or leadership messages.
