A Background is a location — a forest path, a kitchen, a car interior. When you register one, LTB generates four camera angles from a single description. Cuts inside the same scene can shift camera direction without the environment drifting.

How to register

Backgrounds register through the slash menu, not the @ autocomplete.
1

Open the slash menu

Press / on an empty line in the Scenario editor.
2

Pick Background

Select Background from the menu. A block appears on the line.
3

Name the place

Type the location name — for example, Forest path or Inside the car — and press enter.
The Background detail page opens, and the four camera angles begin generating in parallel.

​
The four views

LTB names the four angles by camera direction relative to the main shot. Each beat in the scene picks the angle that fits its blocking. Cuts inside the same Background draw from the same four views, so geometry and lighting stay continuous.
Backgrounds also divide scenes. A new Background block starts a new scene number. Beats within the same Background share one scene. See Scenario for the scene-break rule.
