2. Basic Editing Options: After adding the file to your design, you can access various editing options depending on the file type:

   • Images: You can resize, crop, rotate, filter, adjust brightness/contrast, add effects (like shadows or outlines), and change the position of the image.
   • Videos: You can trim the video length, adjust the volume, add filters, adjust brightness/contrast, and crop the video.
   • Audio: You can adjust the volume, trim the audio length, and control the playback.

   • Animation: You can animate elements on your design, including your uploaded files.
   • Text Overlays: Add text layers on top of your images or videos.
