Upload Media

Use Upload media to add your own images, videos, documents and music to a playlist layer. The files are also saved in Media Assets, so you can reuse them in other playlists.

 

Supported File Types

  • Images: for example JPG, PNG and GIF
  • Videos: for example MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM and M4V
  • Audio: MP3. See Background Music.
  • Documents: PDF, PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX), Word (DOC, DOCX), OpenDocument (ODP, ODT) and RTF. Each page becomes an image.
  • HTML apps: a ZIP file with a self-contained website.

You can upload up to 20 files at a time.
