# 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.

| Changes are not applied until you click Apply Background Settings.

## 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

|| This allows you to see the result before finalizing the video.

## Replacing the background with an image
You can replace your background with a custom image after enabling background removal.
### How to upload a background image
1. In the **Background Removal** section, click **Add background image**
2. Upload your image file
3. Apply the background settings
### 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.
