What Are Media Tools?
Media Tools are a set of integrated features accessible from the right side panel in the project editor. They allow you to create new assets or replace existing ones with ease, using a variety of resources such as stock videos, uploaded media, and customizable backgrounds.
Accessing Media Tools
Step 1: Select an Asset in the Timeline
Click on the asset you want to edit or replace. This can be a video clip, image, or blank asset (an empty placeholder).
Step 2: View the Edit Asset Panel
After selecting the asset, the Edit Asset panel appears on the right side of your screen. This panel displays all available editing options and the media tools relevant to the selected asset.
Step 3: Choose the Change Option to Open Media Tools
If your asset already contains media, click the Change button in the Edit Asset panel to replace it. This will open the Media Tools window, allowing you to select a different media tool or asset.
