Adding & editing backgrounds (before Release 5)

Before Release 5: This article is for organisations that haven't moved to Release 5 yet. On Release 5, your scenes are on the left and the settings on the right: see Adding and editing backgrounds.

1. Adding Backgrounds

We recommend starting with the background content first because that will simplify the process of positioning/aligning the rest of the content.

Backgrounds can be added in 2 ways. You can upload it as an asset via the (company) media library or you can upload the image/video to the background library. Please note that the background library is limited to Super Users and Administrators.

1.1 Adding backgrounds

  1. Go to the story editor

  2. Click on the media icon on the right menu bar.

  3. Click on backgrounds

  4. Pick a background, drag and drop it in the asset list. The background tile will be added to the top of the list.

1.2 Adding assets as a background

  1. Go to the story editor

  2. Click on the media icon on the right menu bar

  3. Click on My or on Company. All videos and images can be added as the background if you drag them to the border of the canvas.

1.3 Editing a background

  1. Double click on the background

  2. Use the corners to scale

  3. Drag the asset to reposition

  4. Click somewhere else on the canvas

  5. It will save automatically

Changing the asset title

You can edit the name of an asset by double clicking on the title.
