# Pane Studio backgrounds and framing

Pane Studio includes background and framing controls for screen recordings on Windows. These controls affect the frame around the recording, not just the recording itself.

## Available background types

- Built-in wallpapers
- Uploaded custom background images
- Gradients with two editable color stops
- Solid color backgrounds

Pane Studio also includes built-in Windows and macOS wallpaper choices so users can start quickly without hunting for assets.

## Framing controls

The background system also includes controls that change the feel of the final frame:

- Background blur
- Padding around the recording
- Rounded corners
- Shadow intensity
- Directional shadows
- Shadow distance
- Shadow angle
- Shadow blur

## Why this matters

These controls help a raw screen capture look more intentional. Instead of exporting a plain edge-to-edge recording, the user can give the video a cleaner frame that works better for product demos, launch videos, tutorials, and social clips.

## Best fit

Background and framing are especially useful when:

- The video will appear on a landing page
- The user wants a branded or presentation-style frame
- The recording is being adapted for social channels
- The screen alone feels too harsh or unfinished

## Summary

Pane Studio background controls let users style the space around the recording with wallpapers, gradients, solid colors, blur, corners, padding, and shadows so the final video looks more polished.
