The media library is where you can manage your images and video clips all in one place. With all your assets located in this library, you can easily find and reuse them in your videos.

You can upload a single media asset to a specific placeholder or you can upload multiple assets and have them ready for future use. An asset uploaded to a specific placeholder is also automatically saved in the media library.

The media library is located at the account level, meaning that all users with access to your account can access the media assets in the library.

Video Optimization

A video asset with the following features will play optimally in a SundaySky video:

● 25 fps (frames per second)
● Maximum resolution of 1920 (width) by 1080 (height)
● H.264 video codec

If you upload a video asset that does not have one of the above features, it will be optimized automatically for both performance and quality (according to the above features). The optimization process does not change the video asset visually in any way.
