How can I change my video background from a plain white to a plain slightly darker color using Magixx Movie Edit Pro 2016?

I have a plain white background on one of my videos but wanted a slightly darker background that is plain (without any pictures in it). .

tom174,

This might work...

Place the video clip on two tracks -- I'm using a .jpg image here.
Give the lower track a 'White Box' effect and adjust it so only your plain white becomes transparent.
Adjust the 'Brightness' setting of the upper track to darken everything.

If all goes well you will see the unaltered mages of the lower track against the background color you have given to the upper track. Most obvious potential problem is having any 'plain' white present other then in the background.

Note: these thumbnails had a slight shadowing against the original white background which shows as a light outline agains the black.

Regards,

Carl

Thanks Carl. This has been very helpful. I am still playing around with it for the best results.

Take care
