A few people have asked us how to move their photos and videos around in Timebox so we thought it would be helpful to write a post about it. There are a few different ways to do it depending upon what you what to accomplish. Here are a few scenarios:
Rearrange photos in a story
You want to rearrange the photos and videos in a day or a story.
- Open a story, tap Edit, then tap and hold the photo (or video) you want to move (it will change shape and “float” above the story).
- Drag the floating photo to it’s new location in the story.
- You can drag a photo on top of another photo or on top of a block of text.
You can also tap and hold on the white area of a block of text to drag the text block on top of a photo.
Copy photos to another story
You want to copy or paste (or share) just one photo or video.
- Open a story, tap and hold the photo you want to work with, then choose Copy, Paste or Share.
- Tap the back arrow to go back to the timeline.
- Open the destination story or tap the plus sign to add a new story, tap and hold anywhere in the story, then tap Paste.
Move photos to another date
You want to move some photos and videos from one day to another day.
- Open a story, tap Edit, tap Select, tap the desired photos to select them, and then tap Move To.
- Choose the date where you’d like to move the selected photos, tap move, then tap done.
Sometimes Move To is not allowed when you've manually added the selected photos to a story but they were also automatically added to a different story. In this case (or any other time you like) you can also:
- Open a story, tap Edit, tap Select, select the photos you want to copy, tap the share button in the lower right corner of the screen, and tap Copy from the choices.
- Go back to the timeline, open the destination story or tap the plus sign to add a new story, tap and hold anywhere in the story, then tap Paste.
