Customize backgrounds and zoom in with new layout controls

We've added a few layout controls to the help you present more complicated products. This update includes three highlights you can find in the video editor starting this week.

Customize content backgrounds

You can now change the content background for screenshots and videos. Select from a collection of default images, or choose a custom color. The people clamored for customization, and who are we to stand in the way of Official Brand approved colors?

Zoom and focus on specific parts of your app

You can now zoom into specific parts of your content. Great for focusing a specific section of pesky dashboards or other noisy layouts. See this in action in the video above.

Crop and adjust presentation framing

You'll find options to adjust spacing and cropping of your presentation, so you can get folks focused on the right part of your product faster. With content fit, you can choose from common aspect ratios to control how we frame your media. It makes two up presenter layouts easier to use without blocking your demo. And it simplifies presenting vertical form factors like mobile. Keep in mind the content fit option will only appear in layouts where both content and narration are on screen.

What's next?

We're looking forward to hearing your feedback. This is the first pass of editor updates planned for this fall. In the coming weeks you'll see more improvements to you can adjust narration tracks and organize multiple recordings within the same story. Give these and other upgrades a try in the app today. And if you haven't tried Rally yet, it's a great time to start.
