Here’s how to access and use them:

  1. Select an asset in the timeline

    • Click on the video clip, image, or blank placeholder that you want to change.

  2. Open the Edit Asset panel

    • This panel appears on the right side and shows all available editing options related to the selected asset.

  3. Click “Change” to access Media Tools

    • If the asset already has content, click Change to open the Media Tools window.

    • For blank assets, you’ll go straight into Media Tools.

  4. Use the available Media Tools:

    • Free Stock Videos: Insert free stock video clips to enhance your visuals.

    • Upload Media: Add your own photos, videos, or audio.

    • Title Screen: Insert customizable title screens for intros or transitions.

    • Generate Image: Auto-create images to support your storytelling.

    • Generate Video Clip (Business Plan only): Generate an 8-second AI-driven clip using Google’s Veo 3 model (best with clear, well-defined prompts).

    • Premium iStock Videos (Business Plan only): Browse and insert high-quality stock clips from Getty iStock.

    • Background Color: Set or update the asset’s background color to match your brand or design style.

  5. Preview your edits

    • Watch your changes directly in the timeline to make sure everything looks seamless and integrated.


Tips for using Media Tools

  • Preview assets in the timeline before finalizing to confirm everything looks right.

  • Keep styles consistent using background colors and titles.

  • Use high-quality uploads to avoid pixelation from resizing.

  • Stock libraries provide quick and professional options when you need them.
