Files importing to the Media section
The adding of files to the editor can be done by several alternative ways described below:
Local import from your computer
Go to the Media library, then drag and drop your media files from any folder of your computer or click on «import media» to add to the library.

To merge several files into the single file, just place the files one by one on the layer of the timeline and click the «Publish» button.
Since the smart reencoding is in use for cutting or joining, the merged files can be of the different video/audio parameters.
You can also rearrange the pieces of files as you would like.
Transitions
Another essential feature of a video editor worth mentioning is the ability to add transitions between different clips or scenes in a video. Transitions are used to link different shots together, creating a smooth and seamless flow between them. They can add interest and variety to a video, making it more engaging for the viewer. Choosing the right transition for a particular scene depends on the message you want to convey and the overall style of the video.

If it is necessary you can make specific settings for the duration of your transition.
Select the transition on the layer, it will be highlighted with the blue color, and set the needed duration of this transition effect.

Adding images to your videos is another great way to enhance their visual appeal. You can use photos to illustrate your points or create a certain mood. For example, if you’re talking about summer, you might add a picture of a beach or a sunset. If you’re discussing a product, you might show a close-up shot of it. Currently supported formats for images are PNG and JPG.
To add the image to your video, upload the image to the Media library, then drag it with your mouse and put it in the timeline.
