A quick tip for changing the design of a single scene, useful when one section needs its own look without altering the rest of the edit.
The video covers:
00:00 Today I'll be sharing a quick tip for changing the design of just one scene in Riverside's new editor. This is really helpful when one part of your video needs a slightly different look, but you don't want to change the entire edit. So let's hop into the editor. So if we want to change the design of a specific scene, we're going to click on the scene that we want to change.
00:17 For me, I'm going to click on the intro scene right here, and then I'm going to go up to design. And from design, you want to make sure that this scene is selected, because if you select similar scenes or all scenes, you're going to be affecting other parts of your edit that you may not want to affect. Now, in my case, I have this background color selected. That's a yellow. It fits my branding. It looks nice. I'm going to change the quarter radius to maybe something like that. And I'm going to bring the spacing in a little bit just so you see it.
00:45 And now I have a different style for this scene. And you see when I play back, that's our intro. But if I come over to this other scene, it's back to that normal format. And because you're only editing that one scene, the rest of your video stays exactly the same. So maybe your intro has one style. Your main video has another, or you just want one section to stand out a little bit more. It's a simple way to make your edit feel more intentional without rebuilding the whole video. I hope this was helpful and makes your edits more creative inside Riverside.
