How to upload your own videos and images

There are a number of ways to upload your or videos or images into Biteable, depending on where you are in the app. The easiest way is to drag and drop from your computer into the editor.

Drag and drop into the editor

The most intuitive way to add images and videos to Biteable is to drag and drop from your computer into Biteable. To do so:

1. Choose the media you’d like to upload on your computer, and drag and drop it into Biteable.
2. To make the asset your background (full screen), drag and drop towards the border of the canvas
   
3. To upload as a moveable asset on the foreground, drag and drop towards the middle of the canvas

4. If you’d rather add assets to your uploads folder, instead of directly to the canvas, open your uploads folder and drop your asset there. Assets upload directly to the canvas will also be added to your uploads folder.
   

From your Asset Library

The Asset Library is your one-stop shop for uploading and organizing your uploads and assets. You have a Personal Library (only you can see these assets) and a Team Library (for shared assets on a Premium plan).

1. Select "Assets" from the side menu
2. Choose between your personal assets or your shared team assets by clicking “My uploads” or “Team uploads”
3. Click "Upload media" to add a new clip or image to your library

Images and footage uploaded to your Asset Library can be easily added to any video at any time using the methods below.

Upload from the content bar

If you'd rather not drag and drop, you can also upload media using the content bar or timeline.

1. Open or create a video project
2. Select the "Uploads" button to the left of the canvas
3. Click "Upload media" to upload new videos, images, or choose from already uploaded assets

Your timeline

Replacing videos or images

1. Open or create a video project
2. From the timeline, select a scene with existing media
3. Select "Replace background"
4. Click "Uploads", then "Upload media"
   
   

Adding videos to a scene without video

1. Select the "Upload" button, then "Upload media"
2. Click on the new upload to add it to your video

Ideal file size and format

While you're free to upload any media you'd like, we do have some max file sizes to make sure your uploads have the best quality in your video.

The single file size limits are as follows:

• 700MB video
• 50MB image
• 250MB soundtrack

Here are the requirements for the files we support:

• Video > mp4, mov
• Image > png, jpeg, jpg
• Audio > mp3, wav, m4a

Editing your videos' audio and volume

If your video clip includes audio, any additional soundtrack or voiceover layer will automatically fade when the audio from your video plays. You can adjust both levels of volume within the Design Mode.

Once you've uploaded footage with audio in it, you can also control the volume for that footage. Here's how you do it:

1. Click on the scene to activate the right-hand menu
2. On the right sidebar, slide the volume slider to the level you want.
3. You can also mute the footage, or set it to fade in or fade out as the scene passes.
