# Uploads

## Upload and reuse media in Videfy

Upload your own media to use across projects, scenes, timelines, and edits.

You can upload files to **My Items** for reuse later, or add media directly to a scene, the Storyboard timeline, the Videfy Studio canvas, or the Videfy Studio timeline depending on where you are working.

### Where you can upload files

You can upload media from different parts of Videfy depending on how you want to use the asset.

#### My Items

Use **My Items** when you want to upload and store assets for reuse later.

Files uploaded to My Items can be reused across supported project areas, including scenes, timelines, and visual editing workflows.

#### Scene

Upload directly to a scene when you want the file to become part of that specific scene.

This is useful when you already know where the asset belongs in your video.

\<Info> Audio files are not added directly to scenes as scene visuals. Use audio files in audio-based workflows or on the timeline. \</Info>

#### Storyboard timeline

Upload to the **Storyboard timeline** when you want to place media while reviewing or adjusting your video at the scene stage.

This is useful for adding clips or assets before moving into Videfy Studio.

#### Videfy Studio canvas

Upload to the **canvas** in Videfy Studio when you want to place media visually inside the frame.

This is useful for images, overlays, stickers, logos, or other visual elements that need positioning.

#### Videfy Studio timeline

Upload to the **timeline** in Videfy Studio when you want to add media as a timed layer or clip.

This is useful for videos, audio, overlays, and other assets that need timeline control.

### Upload a file to My Items

To upload a file to **My Items**:

1. Open **My Items**.
2. Click **Upload**.
3. Choose a supported file from your device.
4. Wait for the upload to finish.

Once uploaded, the file appears in **My Items** and can be reused in your projects.

### Supported file types

Videfy supports common image, video, and audio formats. Some formats work directly, while others are converted after upload so they can be used inside Videfy.

***

### Converted files

Some file types need to be converted before Videfy can use them in a project.

When you upload a file marked as **Converted on upload**, Videfy converts it into a compatible format during processing. After conversion, the file can be used like other supported media.

\<Info> Converted files may take longer to process than files that already use a supported format. \</Info>

***

### Upload limits

Files must stay within Videfy’s upload limits.

| Media type | Maximum file size |
| :--------- | :---------------- |
| Video      | 1024 MB           |
| Audio      | 100 MB            |
| Image      | 25 MB             |

\<Info> Make sure your files are not corrupted before uploading. Damaged files may fail to upload or process correctly. \</Info>

***

### Use uploaded assets in a project

After uploading media, you can use it across your project depending on where you add it.

You can:

* Add an uploaded image or video to a scene
* Place media on the Storyboard timeline
* Position visual assets on the Videfy Studio canvas
* Add clips, audio, or overlays to the Videfy Studio timeline
* Reuse files from **My Items** in future projects

***

### Tips for uploading files

Use clear file names so assets are easier to find later.

Check the file size before uploading to avoid upload errors.

Use supported formats when possible for faster processing.

Store reusable visuals, brand assets, audio, and approved media in **My Items** so you can access them faster in future projects.

## What’s next

After uploading your files, you can add them to scenes from the **Storyboard**, place them on the timeline, or continue editing with them in **Videfy Studio**.
