What do you think about QLAB creating the option to create solid color and/or gradient backgrounds, so we don't have to import more files (PNGs or short videos) with colors? Would that be possible?

Hi JV,

I’ll file that idea in our issue tracker.

Solid color backgrounds can be easily created using a text cue with a white square character at a large font size and specific text color.

Gradients are also possible by sending these text cues to a stage with a mask containing the desired gradient as an image file applied in the mask well.

You can also use blurred emojis at large font sizes with color video FX to get fantastic background variations:
