Import Media Library files to your project

Add media files to your project from your drive's Media Library without re-uploading or consuming additional media minutes.

When you use this import flow to bring in a file that's already had an effect applied (like Studio Sound, Eye Contact, or Green Screen), you won't be charged again—media minutes and AI credits are only deducted when the file is first uploaded or the effect first applied.
