Import your own video as a scene

You can turn any video on your Mac into a live wallpaper using LumaSpace Pro.

How to import

1. Open LumaSpace and go to the Library tab.
2. Click the + button to import a new wallpaper.
3. A file picker opens. Navigate to your video file and select it.
4. Give your wallpaper a title and fill in any optional details.
5. Click Save or Upload.
6. Your video now appears in your Library as a custom wallpaper.
7. Click on it and press Apply to set it as your desktop background.

Best practices

• Format: MP4 or MOV work best.
• Resolution: At least 1080p for clear results. 4K looks amazing on Retina displays.
• Length: 10 to 60 seconds is ideal. The video loops seamlessly.
• Orientation: Match your video to your screen — landscape for standard monitors, portrait for vertical setups.
• Loop-friendly: Videos that start and end on a similar frame loop more smoothly, without a visible "jump."

Note: Custom wallpaper import requires a LumaSpace Pro subscription.
