I don't want to add it as a plane because then my scene lights affect the image and it's going to be hard to make it follow camera movements.

I saw on Youtube that if you use some nodes you can get the background image for camera to render but it didn't work, perhaps something has changed since then?

It should work: make sure to check the "Transparent" Film Render option, and set the background image on camera to "Crop", for a perfect corrispondence with the compositing image.

    $\begingroup$ Is the "Compositor" option checked in the rendering properties, post processing tab? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It wasn't, and now it seems to work. Also, to anyone else needing the same help it's not in the Render Properties, it's in the Output Properties $\endgroup$

I found a workaround, in Render Layers node there is a small button on the bottom right that says "Render active scene", and that should work if F12 doesn't.
