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 layouts 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. Above the video player, click Design.
4. Under Spacing, drag the slider to create spaces between the video tiles. This creates space for your background frame.
5. Next to Background, click the plus button.
   • Click Image to choose an image as a background. Click the upload icon to upload an image to use.
   • Click Color to choose a solid color as a background from the spectrum picker.
6. Click your desired image or color to immediately apply it as a background frame

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.
