Selecting the Right Background
The background image sets the visual tone for your entire video. It appears behind your content, text, and overlays, providing a cohesive look.
Why It Matters
- Consistency: A single background ties all your scenes together, preventing the video from feeling disjointed.
- Readability: The right background ensures your text overlays and captions remain legible.
- Atmosphere: Whether it's a sleek tech abstract or a warm texture, the background reinforces the genre of your video.
Tips for Selection
Simplicity is Key
Avoid busy patterns or high-contrast images that distract from the main content. Subtle textures work best.
Match the Theme
Use dark, moody backgrounds for mysteries or crime stories. Use bright, clean backgrounds for tech or educational lists.
Consider 9:16 vs 16:9
Ensure your background looks good in your chosen aspect ratio. Some patterns might crop differently on vertical videos.
Dark Mode Preference
Generally, darker backgrounds make white text pop more effectively and reduce eye strain for viewers.
Where to Select
You will be prompted to select a background during the video creation process, specifically in the "Select Background" step.
Note: You can preview how the background looks with sample text before moving to the next step.
