Did you know you can upload your own backdrops?  Backdrops are the photos or graphic designs that provide the background for your messages.  Your video messages and attachments, if you include them, float above these backdrops.  They are wallpaper or backgrounds for your messages.

MotionNotes includes a library of free backdrops for you to use in the Composer, but you don’t have to use any of these.  In fact, you can create and upload any image to use as a backdrop.  Here’s how: 

1. In the MotionNotes Composer, go to the Account Info tab and then select the Manage Backdrops button.  You should see a list of backdrops on the list, with a preview window on the right.   

2. At the bottom left, below the Backdrop Library, click the button that says Add a Backdrop… 

 3. Next you will see a pop-up, prompting you to select the file you want to upload, and providing information about how to prepare your image.  The ideal size is 810 x 610 pixels, but if your image is larger, it will be scaled down after uploading.  Click Select Backdrop File.  

4. You will then get a window that allows you to select a file on your computer.  Find the photo you want to use as a backdrop and click Select.   

5. Now add a Title or Description in the field provided and click Upload New Backdrop.  This will upload your selected file and add it to your personal Backdrop Library.  Note that other users will not be able to use or even see the backdrops in your personal library.
