This quick guide shows you the main steps to use Firework for your Amazon SmartBiz store using the Firework platform you access.
1. Adding Your Videos to Firework (Two Ways!)
You have two easy ways to get your videos into the Firework system:
Method A: Uploading from Your Computer
1. Find "Add Videos": Look for the "Add Videos" button (usually near the top right). Click it and select "Upload Video".
2. Choose File: Click "Choose File" and select the video file from your computer.
3. Wait: Let the video finish uploading. This might take a few minutes.
4. Click Next: Follow the prompts on the screen. (You will edit the title and add products/buttons in the next steps, no need to add to a playlist here).
5. Finish Upload: Click the final "Upload" or "Done" button. Your video will start processing (preparing itself). Wait for it to be "Ready".
Editing the Thumbnail:
- Find Your Video: Go to your "Library" / " All Videos" section. Find the video you just added.
- Click "Edit": Click the three dots (...) next to the video title and select "Edit Video", OR simply click on the video itself.
- Select the Thumbnail option on the left to set a Poster for your video. You can click on the add icon to include new posters, and we also generate an animated one for you when uploading the video.
Method B: Importing from Instagram (Great if you already post videos there!)
- Find "Add Videos": Look for the "Add Videos" button. Click it and select "Import from Instagram".
- Connect Your Account: If it's your first time, Firework might ask you to connect your business Instagram account. Follow the simple steps.
3.Select Videos: Firework will show recent videos from your Instagram. Click on the ones you want to bring into Firework.
4. Click "Import": Confirm the import.
5. Processing: Firework will copy the videos. Wait for the status to say "Ready".
6. Alternatively you can paste in the URL Link directly to bring that video into the business dashboard.
Your video(s) are now saved in your Firework 'Library'!
2. Editing Your Video's Title & Details
Whether you uploaded or imported, check and edit the video details:
- Find Your Video: Go to your "Library" / " All Videos" section. Find the video you just added.
- Click "Edit": Click the three dots (...) next to the video title and select "Edit Video", OR simply click on the video title itself.
3. You are now on the "Edit Content" Screen
4. Check/Edit the Title: Make sure the Title field (marked with a red star *) has a clear, helpful name. Imported videos might need a better title.
5. (This is also where you add Interactions - see next step).
