Media, text & generated visuals
Choose and edit the Normal background
Build a reusable background from solid colors, gradients, images or video, and switch it with its cards.
Before you start
Open the intended collection and layout. Rehearse changes before using them during a live production.
Where to find it
Media > Background in Normal.
Use it
- Choose Add background, then Add Solid, Add Gradient, Add Image or Add Video.
- Choose a card and use Show or hide source to display it.
- Open its edit/properties action to change the picture or file.
- Choose Edit Transform to move, resize or crop the selected background in the canvas.
- Use the card’s Done check to return to the selected scene; use Cancel to cancel the active transform edit.
- Reorder cards with Move background up/down and check the composition.
Editing the intended item
During a background transform edit, the canvas shows the background being edited. Finish the edit to return to the user scene. The canvas editing target is the chosen card; clicking elsewhere does not mean selecting another background. Source Properties changes and completed actions are separate from canceling a transform edit.
Remove carefully
Delete removes the selected background from the show. Hiding a card lets you stop displaying it without deleting it. Check all shots that use the shared background before removing it.
