To add media to Filmora so you can use it in your video project, you need to import the files into the Media Panel.
Adding media files like videos, audio, and images to Filmora's Media Panel is the essential first step before you can start editing them on the timeline. This panel acts as your library of all the assets you'll use in your project.
Importing Media into Filmora
According to the provided information, new media files can be added to the Media Panel using two primary methods:
1. Using the Import Button
One straightforward way to add your media is by clicking the dedicated Import button located within the Media Panel itself. This typically opens a file explorer window where you can navigate to the location of your media files on your computer and select the ones you want to import.
2. Dragging and Dropping Files
Another convenient method is to drag and drop files directly from a folder on your computer into the Media Panel within the Filmora interface. Simply open the folder containing your media files, select the desired files, and drag them over the Filmora window, specifically into the Media Panel area.
In summary, to place a video or audio file onto the timeline, you must first import it into Filmora Pro by adding it to the Media Panel. You can do this by clicking on the Import button in the Media Panel, or by dragging and dropping files directly from the folder to the Media Panel.
