Importing Videos & Images

Import an image or video with ⌘I, or drag a file into the viewport or onto the timeline. Imported images and videos automatically become texture fills on shape layers. You can also add an image or video by adding a Texture Fill on any shape layer and then using the Import Texture button under the Appearance tab in the Properties Panel.

The video’s Time property controls playback. With no keyframes, video time auto-syncs with comp time. Keyframe the Time property to scrub the video independently and remap its time. You can freeze, reverse, or loop it within a single layer.
