Spaces & Backgrounds

Scenes in your video always happen somewhere, select the proper background to leverage for your scene by either selecting a Space or a media background.

Spaces

The "Space" feature in Synthesia simplifies the creation of realistic scenes by providing a variety of stylish and professional backgrounds. This feature allows you to enhance the video quality without extensive design experience.

1. Navigate to your video and select "Space" from the top bar.
2. Choose a Space: Browse or search for a space and click to apply it to your scene.

To delete a space from your scene, select it and press del.

Media Backgrounds

To benefit from a custom background in your scene:

1. Turn on the background toggle in the right panel of the video edit page.
2. Select the video or image you want to use from Synthesia stock library or from your custom media library.
3. Alternatively: upload your own video or image you want to use.

• Replacing it.
• Cropping it.
