Add a background frame in editor

« to Riverside editor: Overview

Add an image or color behind your video frames for each scene. You can upload your own background graphic or use one of our built-in images.

Step by step

We recommend using Smart Scenes first to quickly and accurately apply dynamic layouts to your recording.

1. Open a recording in the editor.
2. Click the timeline to move the playhead to the scene you want to customize.
3. Click the outer border of the recording canvas.
4. Click Background.
5. Choose an existing image
   Or click Upload to select a file from your device. Your custom graphic must be a JPG or PNG image file.
6. To add a color instead of an image: Click the Color tab, use the spectrum color picker or add a hex code. 
   
7. Click Background to close the background panel.

Good to know

• The background appears only in the scene you applied it to. If your video doesn’t have any scenes, the background applies to the entire recording.
• You can set up a default design for your brand, including a background frame, spacing, and corner styles, by setting up your brand kit in the editor.
