Video background

To make your video look much more artistic, you can add the background for a video recording and thus change the tone of the narration and the whole message transmitted by the project.

Clideo’s Video Editor allows you to add and change video backgrounds as well as perform other editing functions. The tool can serve as a simple background adder and at the same time, you can do much more. Change the duration of the visuals, rotate or flip them, slow them down or speed them up, alter the color scheme, or edit in any other way.

The tool works online in a browser, hence you can use it from any device with any operating system installed. Also, its free mode has very minor limitations, so even unregistered users can avail of full functionality.

Step

Add your video and a background image

After clicking "Get started" you’ll be prompted to the editing screen. Upload both the video and background media from your device, cloud storage accounts, or built-in stock libraries. You can also record your footage from scratch.

Step

Set up background for a video

Click the "Canvas" tab and select the aspect ratio. Change the canvas color as you need if you just need another background color. If you use an image or another clip as a background, in the timeline, place the video on the top track and its background exactly below the recording and resize it as required. Remember to adjust their duration by dragging the yellow handles.

The best video editor. I've already tried out a lot of video editors, but this is the best one. It has everything in there, unlike others that need a lot of other websites to do different things. Thank you so much.
