Learn to import, add, and organize video, audio, and image assets in the timeline.
Adding media to the timeline involves importing your video, audio, and image assets into the project. Once imported, these assets can be placed onto the timeline, where you can begin arranging, trimming, and layering them to build your video sequence.
Before you begin:
Identify the media assets you want to work with and create a project.
Once the media is uploaded, it automatically gets added to the timeline.
Alternatively, you can select the Your media icon in the left sidebar to activate the Your media panel, and then the Select files option to add media files.
Once the media is added to the Your media panel, you can drag and drop it into the timeline.
If you want to add more media files to the timeline, you can use the Upload icon in the Your media panel and then drag and drop them into the timeline.
Tip
You can also generate new videos directly within the editor using the Firefly Video model, which offers multiple customizable controls, including resolution, aspect ratio, keyframe images, style presets, and camera angle.
