Backgrounds and frames for screen recordings

A frame and a background, on by default. The take sits in a frame on a background the moment it opens. Change either in one click.

In short

Every recording in Sceed opens already framed: a rounded card with a shadow, on a background, with padding. Change the background to a gradient, a colour, a picture or the blurred recording itself, and choose a frame: window title bars, devices, or edge styles. The recording is only ever moved and scaled as a whole.

Framed from the first frame

There is no "apply a template" step. The take opens in a frame on a background, and each choice is one click in the Background, Canvas and Frame tabs. Save the result as a look and make it the default for new recordings.

Backgrounds

  • Gradients in every mood, dithered so they do not band after compression.

  • A gradient builder: a shape, three colours, an angle and a spread.

  • Solid colours with a system palette and your recent colours.

  • The recording itself, zoomed, blurred and dimmed behind its own card.

  • Your own picture or looping clip (Pro).

Frames

  • Windows: Mac, browser, browser with tabs, Windows, terminal and code editor title bars, with a title you can edit.

  • Devices: a laptop, a tablet, a phone, a desktop display, a TV.

  • Edges and props: outlines, gradients, glass, glows, stacked cards, tape, a pin, a paper mat, a photo frame.

Any shape

Switch the canvas between wide, square and vertical. The same take re-lays itself out, so one recording can become a website video, a feed post and a vertical short.

Questions

Are backgrounds and frames free?

Yes. Gradients, solid colours, the blurred recording and every frame style are in the free plan. Your own picture or clip as the background needs Pro.

Does a frame change my recording?

No. The frame is drawn round it. The recording is moved and scaled as a whole and never reflowed.

Can I use my brand colours?

Yes. Pick any colour for a solid background, build a gradient from your palette, and recolour frame elements.
