# Blur or replace your camera background after recording

> In the editor, open Style (press B) and set Camera background to Blur or Color to blur or fill the room behind you in a recorded clip. Your camera keeps its frame, border and shadow. It applies per clip.

Blur or replace the room behind you after recording: open **Style** in the editor (press `B`) and set **Camera background** to **Blur** or **Color**. Tella cuts you out of the camera recording and changes only what is behind you, so your camera keeps its shape, border and shadow. It applies to the whole clip.

## Blur your background in the editor

1. Open your video in the editor and select the clip.
2. Click **Style** in the sidebar, or press `B`.
3. Under **Camera background**, choose **Blur**.
4. Drag **Strength** to set how blurred the room is.

Tella may show **Preparing background** while it processes your camera recording. You can keep editing, but **Download** stays unavailable until it finishes.

## Replace your background with a solid color

1. Under **Camera background** in **Style**, choose **Color**.
2. Click **Color** to pick the fill.

To go back to the room you recorded in, choose **Original**.

## Use the same background in every clip

The background applies per clip. Click **Apply to all clips** under **Camera background** to copy the current choice to the camera in every clip. Duplicating or copying a clip keeps its background.

## Which camera styles show the background?

The background shows in the round, square, portrait and **Blob** camera styles and in full-frame camera layouts. With **Pop-out**, it shows inside the frame. It is not shown with **Cut out**, which removes the room completely. See [Remove your camera background with Cut out](/docs/help/editing/cut-out-camera-background) and [Create a pop-out camera effect](/docs/help/editing/create-a-pop-out-camera-effect).

## Can I use an image as my camera background?

Not in the editor yet. You can choose an image background in the recorder before you record; see [Change your camera background](/docs/help/recording/blur-your-camera-background). To change what appears around your camera rather than behind you, use **Background** in **Style**; see [Backgrounds](/docs/help/editing/pick-a-background).

<Note>Like Cut out, this works best when you are clearly separated from your background. Hair and fast movement can leave soft edges.</Note>
