Set a layer's fill. The canvas backdrop is the pinned is_background image_layer (its element id is exposed via describe_video as background.elementId; the literal 'background.canvas' is also accepted as a synonym); null is rejected on the backdrop. Shapes require a Fill (null/missing is rejected). Image / video / text / group layers accept a Fill object (or #rrggbb hex) to paint a backdrop, or null to clear it — clearing removes the layer's fill colour keyframes too, so an animated backdrop really does go away. Shapes paint their body; image/video paint behind the bitmap; groups paint a rect centred on the pivot sized by (box_width, box_height). REFUSED on a layer whose fill is ANIMATED (it has colour keyframes): the track wins at every frame, so a plain fill write would be invisible. Change it at a frame with add_color_keyframe, or pass clear_animation:true to replace the animation with this fill.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| elementId | string | yes | shapes.<id> / image.<id> / video.<id> / group.<id>. The pinned is_background image_layer is the canvas backdrop; the literal 'background.canvas' is accepted as a synonym. |
| fill | string | object | null | yes | Either '#rrggbb' (promoted to solid) or a Fill object: {type:"solid",color} / {type:"linear",stops:[{pos:0..1,color}],angle?} / {type:"radial",stops:[{pos:0..1,color}],cx?,cy?,radius?} / {type:"mask",layer_id,color}. A gradient is ONE fill — don't fake it with stacked shapes. null (image/video/text/group only) clears the backdrop, including any fill colour keyframes on it. |
| clear_animation | boolean | no | Only meaningful on a layer whose fill is animated. true = this fill REPLACES the colour animation (its keyframes are deleted). Omitted / false = the call is refused rather than writing a fill the animation would hide. |
| projectId | string | yes | Opaque project id (a v4 UUID, from list_projects/create_project). Selects which existing project this call mutates. |
| anonymousToken | string | yes | The token create_anonymous_account returned. This connection has no Morpha key, so every call carries it. |
