Creating a slide with a portrait video and a specified background colour

John MacLeod

Hi - we use transparent backgrounds to manage video overlays from Proclaim (we specify green to replace transparent on our vide output & key from that in the video switcher).

Sometimes we have to show portrait videos which seem to mandate a transparent background if used on a media slide. If we insert such a video onto a content slide, then specify the background, the video disappears!  We don't have this problem when adding "Content/Foreground image".

So, how do we show a portrait video AND specify the background to be other than transparent?

Thanks - John

Answered my own question, but I'll leave this here for future reference as it's not quite intuitive!!

Having created a media slide with a portrait video, click the provided "Change video" button which allows multiple changes, including changing the background.
