From video game backgrounds to music video backgrounds, AI video backgrounds and green screen backgrounds – Krikey AI has several options to help bring your vision to life. In this article we will discuss how to add a background video or create one using the Krikey AI Animation video editor. 

What are video backgrounds? 

Video backgrounds can be defined in two ways. One is a video in the background of your video and another is a still image in the background of your video. In this article we will share how you can create both of these types of video backgrounds using the Krikey AI video backgrounds tool. From christmas background video to halloween background video options to Zoom video background and Teams video background - Krikey AI has you covered from work to seasonal projects. 

How to add a background to a video in the Krikey AI Animation Video Editor

To add a background image to your animated video, first go to the Krikey AI website: www.krikey.ai and then click Get Started. Once you open the video editor on your free account you can see a left hand bar with different icons. 

If you click on the Scene icon and then click World - you can select from a number of different 3D scenes to place behind your animated character. In the next section you can see descriptions of each of our 3D scenes. To request a custom 3D scene or character, please visit this website and fill out the form. 

If you click any of the different World options, a 3D scene will be added to your timeline in the video editor. You can move the clip so it is underneath an existing animation. Ensure that you have both lighting and camera tracks enabled so you can see your character and the video background. 

Then in the timeline track you can click on the 3D scene and this will open up a customization menu. There are two options here - to rotate environment or resize environment. Rotating the 3D scene enables you to place your character in different parts of your 3D environment as you tell your story. Resizing the environment can make your character seem larger or smaller in context with the video background. 

Another option is to add an image as your video background. To do this, go to the left hand bar and click the Present icon. In the present menu you have the option upload your own image or video, generate an AI image or select an image from our public gallery. Once you select an image it will appear on a presentation screen behind your character. 

Next, you go to the timeline and click on the presentation screen row – this should pull up a customization menu. On the customization menu are several options: 

• Model: In this dropdown menu you can select from different types of presentation screens including a phone or laptop. 
• Move Left/Right: This slider bar enables you to move the presentation screen left or right behind the character. 
• Move Forward/Back: This slider bar enables you to move the presentation screen forward or backward behind the character.
• Rotate Left/Right: This slider bar enables you to rotate the presentation screen on the 3D axis to tilt left or right behind the character.
• Resize image: This slider bar allows you to resize the image or video within the projector screen. 
• Resize Projector: This slider bar allows you to resize the projection screen itself behind the character. 

If you take resize projector and make the image large enough to take up the whole screen, you can effectively place your character in front of a customized video background or image background. 

To adjust the camera angle and positioning of your character in front of the projection screen, please visit our camera angles page and learn how to adjust camera angles. We also have video tutorials available inside the 3D editor under the Academy tab and on our YouTube channel as well.
