To use VNT Maker—which refers to creating and applying VN Templates (.vnt files) within the popular VN Video Editor app—you can easily automate complex video edits. Whether you want to download a trending TikTok/Reels template or create your own custom layout to share, the process is straightforward.
This complete step-by-step guide covers how to use downloaded templates and how to build your own. Part 1: How to Import and Use a .vnt Template
If you downloaded a .vnt file or found a VN QR code online, follow these steps to apply it to your media:
[ Download Template/.vnt File ] ➔ [ Open VN App ] ➔ [ Go to Templates ] ➔ [ Import & Load ] ➔ [ Replace Media ]
Step 1: Open the App: Launch the VN Video Editor on your iPhone, Android, or Mac.
Step 2: Go to Templates: Tap the Template section located in the bottom menu bar.
Step 3: Import the File: Tap Import Template (or the ”+” icon) and locate the downloaded .vnt file on your device.
Alternative (QR Code Method): If you have a template screenshot instead of a file, tap the Scanner icon in the top right corner of the app home screen and upload the photo.
Step 4: Replace Placeholders: The app will load the pre-made timeline with empty clip slots. Tap on each slot, click Replace, and choose a video or photo from your camera roll.
Step 5: Export: Once all slots are filled, tap the Export arrow in the top right to save your finished video. Part 2: How to Make Your Own Custom Template
If you have edited a video and want to save it as a reusable template project (.vnt), use the built-in creator tool:
Build Your Edit: Create a standard project with your cuts, music track, texts, and transitions.
Select “Create Template”: From your project timeline or the home screen project list, select the options menu (three dots) and click Create Template.
Set Placeholders: Choose which video clips or images should be locked (like intros/outros) and which ones should be “replaceable placeholders” for future edits.
Save and Share: VN will generate the template layout. You can export this directly to your device storage as a .vnt file or generate a VN QR Code to share with others on social media. Essential Editing Tips for Templates
Fix Missing Syncing: If your video doesn’t match the background beat properly after replacing placeholders, tap the clip inside the timeline and slide the crop box left or right to align the exact action scene with the beat.
Crop Cleanly: If scanning a QR code template yields an “Invalid Code” error, crop the screenshot down tightly so only the QR block is visible before scanning.
Check Free Upgrades: The standard free tier of VN allows comprehensive project creation and template sharing. However, upgrading to VN Pro unlocks expanded capabilities for custom font uploads and complex multi-track layering.
