When you create your video in the SundaySky platform, you have access to millions of high-quality images from the Getty libraries. The images, spanning a wide range of topics, can be added to any media placeholder in a scene.

Note:
As the images from the Getty libraries do not have a transparent background, we recommend that you use them only in media placeholders and not in icon placeholders.

Adding a Stock Image

1.

Open the relevant video in the Studio.
2.

From the scene line-up, select the relevant scene.
3.

Double-click the media placeholder to which you want to add an image.
  Select_placeholder_new.jpg
4.

Click Media library.

Note:
If an image was previously removed from the placeholder, you'll need to click the plus sign.

  Tips for Searching

1.

You can search for a phrase.
▶ For example: searching for library children retrieves images of children in a library.
2.

If you want only illustrations, include the word illustration in your search query.
3.

Include vertical in your search query if you are searching for images with a vertical orientation and horizontal for images with a horizontal orientation.  
8. When you find the desired image, select the image and then click Use at the bottom of the page.
▶ You can also double-click the image.
