Can we choose our background colors, customize the look of the videos?

OneTake AI allows you to remove the background from your video and replace it with either an image or a solid color. This feature is available while editing your project and helps you control the visual appearance of your video without additional tools. All background settings are managed from the Customize Video panel.

Enabling background removal

To remove the background from your video:

1. Open your video project
2. Click Customize Video
3. Scroll to the Background Removal section
4. Toggle Enable Background Removal on

Once enabled, OneTake AI automatically separates you from the background in your video.

Previewing and applying the result

After enabling background removal and selecting your background option:

• Click Apply Background Settings

• Preview the video in the editor

• Make adjustments if needed

• Click Save to keep the changes

Recommended image formats

For best results:

• Use JPG or PNG images

• Use high-resolution images

• Avoid low quality or blurry images

Aspect ratio tips

• Match the image aspect ratio to your video format

• Portrait videos work best with vertical images

• Landscape videos work best with horizontal images

Using mismatched ratios may result in cropping or stretching.

Best image types for clean results

• Simple, uncluttered backgrounds

• Light or neutral tones

• Images without strong patterns

Busy or high-contrast images can distract from the speaker.

Using a solid color background

Instead of an image, you can choose a solid color background.

How to apply a color background

1. Enable background removal
2. Select Background Color
3. Choose your preferred color
4. Apply the background settings

When solid colors work best

• Professional presentations

• Educational or training videos

• Brand focused content

• Minimal and clean layouts

Solid colors keep the focus on the speaker and text.

Brand consistency tips

• Use brand colors where possible

• Stick to one or two consistent colors

• Avoid switching colors frequently across videos

This helps maintain a consistent visual identity.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using colors too close to skin tone

• Using very bright or neon colors

• Using low contrast between background and text

Poor color choices can reduce clarity and visual comfort.

Saving your background settings

Once you are satisfied with the background:

• Click Save in the editor

• Your background settings will be applied to the current video

Each project manages its own background settings, allowing flexibility across different videos.
