Changing the Fill Color of a Media Asset

Avatar

After uploading a media asset to a scene, you can change its fill color.
The color change can be applied to a logo, image, or video. The only requirement is that the asset have a transparent (clear) background. If the background is not transparent, the media asset will be covered entirely with the color you selected.

1.

From the scene line-up, select the scene with the media asset whose fill color you want to change.
2.

Select the relevant media placeholder.
▶ A blue border around the placeholder indicates that it is selected.

In the right pane, select the Design tab to display the fill coloring options.

4.

Define the fill color of the asset with one of the following Fill color options (click to expand):
Brand

Select one of the six colors defined in the brand configuration selected for this video.

Note:

If you select a new color from the brand colors and then change that color in the brand configuration, the fill color of the media asset will also be changed.

For example:

1.

I select the soft orange color (Accent 1) for my new fill color.

The fill color of the media asset is changed:

2.

In the video's brand configuration, I change and save the color for Accent 1.

The fill color of the media asset is updated automatically in the placeholder and in the right pane.

In the right pane, the custom fill color you defined is underlined:

No fill

Click the No fill icon if you would like to keep the original colors of the media asset.
This is the option that is selected by default.

  Tip!

If you try to change the color of a media asset and the placeholder is then filled with the selected color, this indicates that the background of the media asset is not transparent.
