Importing Media to CreateStudio

See: List of supported media formats

To import media, click the Media button 

Select between Project, Global, or Stock

  • Project - if you are importing a media file that you will use for the first time or only for the project you're working on
  • Global - if you want to import a media file and save it in the Global folder or if you want to use a file that's been previously saved in this folder
  • Stock - if you want to import stock footage or images 

Click on Import Media


If successfully imported, a thumbnail of the media file appears. You can then drag it to the canvas or the timeline.


Imported files can be organized inside folders.

    Ugh, this is very painful.

    30 minutes to import a 11 minute mp4 video file.

    Why does it not just use the mp4 that i am importing instead of running ffmpeg to convert it?

    ffmpeg has my CPU pegged at 100% the whole time. Can you not find a different tool that could process this video faster?

    Is there any current tweaks that one could do to speed up video imports?

    why does it take so long for a single file to up load? if it does up load, mostly it doesn't up load and I have to delate it from the list.  Is there a certain amount of files a project can hold?  The new file/files when added just keep loading. is there anything you can suggest?

    Hey why it takes so long to import every single file? I really want to use the software but every time I try to import a new file it keep loading for ever 7/10
