Add a Background Graphic to a Recorded Video

Follow the steps below to add a custom graphic behind your video tracks in the Editor or use one of Riverside's built-in image options.

Step by step:

1. Using a computer, log in to your account.
2. Open a recording in the Editor.
3. On the right side of the Editor, click the Background button.
4. In the Background panel, click (the plus button).
5. Pick the image file and click upload.

TIPS:
Your custom graphic must be a .jpg or .png file. Make sure it matches the clip's aspect ratio so the image fills the video frame without getting stretched.

The table below provides guidelines for a custom background's dimensions in horizontal × vertical pixels.
