In Vev, you can manage your project's assets—including images, videos, and shapes—from the left sidebar. Each asset type has its own dedicated panel, making it easy to organize and access your files. The panels are ordered from top to bottom as follows: Images, Videos, and Shapes.
Finding Your Assets
Each asset panel (Images, Videos, and Shapes) has a search bar at the top. This allows you to quickly find a specific file by name within the panel you are currently viewing.
Uploading Files
You can upload files to your project using two methods:
Upload Button: Click the upload button within the respective panel.
Drag and Drop: Simply drag and drop a file from your computer directly into the panel.
Important: Make sure you are uploading the correct file type to the corresponding panel. Vev supports the following file types:
Images: .png, .jpeg, .webp
Videos: .mp4, .wav, .mov
Shapes: .svg
Uploading Videos by URL
You can also add videos to your project by using a direct URL. This is a separate method from embedding a video from a third-party source like YouTube. Vev supports the following formats for URL-based videos: .mp4, .ogg, and .webm. For embedding videos from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, you should use the dedicated Vev components for third-party video sources.
Using the Royalty-Free Video Library
You can easily add high-quality videos to your project without leaving Vev. Click the Video icon in the left panel to open the royalty-free video library. From there, browse or search for videos available through Pexels and Pixabay.
Once you’ve found a video you like, you can either drag and drop it directly onto your canvas or click the Add to design button to place it in your project.
Using the built-in video library saves time and ensures that all videos are free to use, professionally sourced, and ready to optimize your design—no need to upload or link external files.
Improving Accessibility and SEO
To enhance the accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO) of your project, you should add a meta description to your images.
How to Edit:
Hover over the image card in the Project Images panel.
Click the info button that appears.
A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to edit the description field.
Using Stock Assets
Vev provides direct access to a variety of stock assets that you can use in your projects. These are integrated directly into the respective panels.
Stock Images: Access royalty-free images from Unsplash and Pixabay within the Images panel.
Icons: Find a library of icons from Font Awesome within the Shapes panel.
