Using the Asset Library

Learn how to upload, manage, and use visual assets in your videos.

Managing Your Video Assets

The Asset Library in Vidsue is your personal collection of images and videos that you can use in your video projects. This guide will show you how to build and use your own asset library for more customized videos.

Understanding the Asset Library

The Asset Library serves as a storage space for visual elements you can use across multiple videos:

  • Images: Photos, graphics, logos, and other still images
  • Videos: Short clips that can be included in your projects
  • Personal uploads: Files you've added to your account
  • Public assets: Pre-made assets available to all users

Accessing Your Asset Library

To get to your Asset Library:

  1. Log in to your Vidsue account
  2. Click on Asset Library in the dashboard menu
  3. You'll see your personal collection of assets organized by type

Adding Assets to Your Library

Upload New Assets

Add your own images and videos:

  1. In the Asset Library, click the Upload button
  2. Select the file(s) you want to upload from your device
  3. You can select multiple files at once for batch uploading
  4. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, MP4, and MOV

Pro Tip: Prepare your assets before uploading. Crop images to the right dimensions and trim videos to just the parts you need.

Fill in Asset Details

Add information to make your assets easier to find:

  1. Give each asset a clear, descriptive name
  2. Add an optional description of what the asset shows
  3. Select the asset type (image or video)
  4. For videos, specify if it supports lip sync (for character videos)

Add Tags

Organize your assets with tags:

  1. Add relevant keywords to each asset
  2. These tags will help you find assets quickly later
  3. Common tags might include:
    • Content type (e.g., "background," "product," "person")
    • Style (e.g., "professional," "casual," "animated")
    • Subject (e.g., "nature," "technology," "business")

Set Privacy Options

Decide who can access your assets:

  1. Choose whether each asset is:
    • Private: Only visible to you
    • Public: Available to other Vidsue users
  2. Public sharing is optional but helps build the community library

Complete the Upload

Finalize adding your assets:

  2. Click Save to Library to complete the process
  3. Your assets will appear in your personal collection

Managing Your Assets

Keep your Asset Library organized and up-to-date:

Your Asset Library integrates with the video creation process:

  4. Choose a replacement from your Asset Library

Tips for Building an Effective Asset Library

Make the most of your Asset Library with these best practices:

  • Be selective: Only keep high-quality assets that you're likely to use
  • Stay organized: Use consistent naming and tagging for easy searching
  • Think ahead: Upload assets for upcoming projects before you need them
  • Variety matters: Include different angles, backgrounds, and scenarios
  • Consider branding: Add your logo, brand colors, and consistent imagery
