Changing the Fill Color of a Media Asset

Introduction

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.

  Tip!

If you try to change the fill 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.
