 this video I'm going to be showing you how to put an animated GIF in the background right here. So basically let's just go ahead and take a look at an email template that has this animated GIF in the back. So I'm going to click on edit with content designer. Once I'm inside the editor you'll notice if I hover my mouse over this area right here this is an image excuse me this is text text text right so it looks like if I scroll over to this side you'll notice after I get out here there it shows up as a row so you can see what says row right above my cursor right there okay so if I'm inside here this is the content if I go outside this box then we get into the row so you can see where it's kind of broken up right and you'll see this whenever I kind of build out one just kind of shows an example so if I click on the outside of this one to where it brings out the row so you'll see how over here like if I click here it's content because this is inside the content if I go outside this box and I click on row then it switches to row and then here's the row properties you see the row background color is transparent the content background color is also transparent okay that way you can see through it so basically you have text and then you see through this background right here and you can see the fireworks and then you'll see row background image which is the fireworks bursting and so basically if I highlight this URL right here and I right click and I copy it and I go up here to a new web browser tab and I paste in that URL hit enter and you can see the image right here it's just the fireworks so we'll go back and says but one thing you want to note says note the background images are not compatible with all email programs when not supported the row background color will be used instead so make sure that the color works well with your content so the row background color is transparent on this particular one and then column background transparent so you kind of play around with these options but I just wanted to kind of show you that whenever you click inside it goes to content if you go outside the content area to the row and you click on the row then this goes from content to row there you go so go to content to rows and if I want to go back to content I click and then I'll go from row to content all right and then if you go to settings you can see that the background color the complete background the very very background is black okay all right so now I showed you that let's go ahead and take a look at a new one so let's go ahead and get out here and from the home page we are in the email template area I click on email template and I'm going to do add email template right here so add email template I'm gonna go to the advanced editor click on it and we'll just do animated shift create and start editing and right now you're just kind of a blank slate basically okay so if I want to I go to settings right here and I go to the background color right here which is white currently and I could just click on this and I could change it to black so now you see that it is black I want to put the content right here I can click and drag a text right here and right here and then I could double click and right over here is the text color so if I want to click on this and I can move this little thing over here change it to red you see it seems to read over here you could also highlight it and you could also change the font color over here too and then I wanted to make this a lot bigger I'm gonna get 80 pixels that's too big let's cut it down to 50 right and then I want to center this up so now you see happy new year I could bolden it up if I like whatever you want to do on there then next let's go ahead and do that row that we were talking about earlier so if I click on row and then I click and drag the single row over now I could break us up into two different rows or two different columns with so I could take this row over here and I'm gonna drag it and then again remember we set the the settings as black so that's here I'm gonna go rows right and I want to click on this and say hey I want something to be in this particular row and then right here row background image because remember on here click on row background image now there's different ways of getting animated gifs animated gifs whatever you want to call their gifs you could go to Clipley if you go to Clipley all
