Reuse a file

Place a picture or a clip you already have, without uploading it again.

Press Media in the timeline toolbar and choose a picture or a clip you already have. It is placed at the playhead, and nothing is uploaded again.

The picker, with From this device above the pictures already on file

The picker opens when you are signed in and have a picture or a clip on file. With none, Media opens your device's file dialog straight away.

  • From this device picks a new file. It is uploaded when you save.
  • The kinds switch what is listed, each with its count: Pictures, SVG and Video.
  • Search by name narrows the list, which shows the newest sixty of a kind.

A program's control can hold a file too, such as its logo. On the Controls page, press Replace on that control and choose a file the same way.

A backdrop takes the same files. On the backdrop's Media tab, press Choose from your files; see Backdrop.

Sound has its own list, the Uploads tab of the Sound panel; see Soundtrack. Everything you hold, with what uses each file, is on the Files page.
