Using media

Add to timeline

Drag from media bin to:

• Main track — primary video content
• Overlay track — images, graphics
• Audio track — music, voiceover

Remove from project

1. Select media in bin
2. Press Delete or right-click → "Remove"
3. Choose:
   • Remove from bin — keeps in project
   • Delete from project — removes entirely (can't undo)

Storage

• Media files — stored in browser (OPFS/IndexedDB)
• Project data — includes references, not the raw files
• Export — original quality preserved

Limitations

• Size — limited by browser storage (typically 60% of available disk)
• Format — some formats may need conversion (auto-handled)
• Cloud — not synced; project + media on one device

Tips

• Name files clearly — "intro-shot.jpg" is better than "IMG_1234.jpg"
• Organize before importing — rename on disk, import clean
• Import in batches — easier to manage than all at once
• Remove unused — keep project lean
