How to replace images and videos in Biteable

Introduction

In this guide, we will walk you through the straightforward process of replacing images and videos in Biteable. The functionality of replacing media elements is quite user-friendly, and whether you're working on a plain image or a more complex scene with multiple layers, the process remains largely consistent. Let’s dive in!

Replacing Images

1. Select the Image: Start by clicking once on the image you wish to replace.
2. Access the Replace Options: If the image is the topmost layer and has no other elements on top, go to the toolbar and click on the More button.
3. Open Properties Panel: Now, navigate to the Properties Panel and click on Replace Element.
4. Choose Your New Image: This action will open the content bar, allowing you to choose from your uploaded images, any recordings, or the stock library. Simply select a new image to replace the existing one.

Note:

• If the image has a frame applied, the new image will automatically inherit this frame property, preserving the aesthetic of pre-made templates.

Alternative Method: You have the option to right-click on the image and select Replace, leading you to the same replace options.

Replacing Videos

The process for replacing videos is identical to replacing images:

1. Select the Video: Click on the video that you want to replace.
2. Replace Options: Again, you can either click the More button and choose Replace Element or simply right-click and select Replace.
3. Select a New Video: Choose a new video from your uploads or the stock library to embed it into the scene.

Replacing Background Videos

Replacing a background video can be slightly more complex, especially when multiple elements are stacked on top:

1. Select the Background: To avoid moving around other elements, navigate to the scene in the timeline.
2. Click to Select the Background: Click directly on the background portion of the scene—not on any overlaid elements like text blocks.
3. Replace Background Video: Once selected, you will see the Replace Background button. Click it, pick a new video, and it will be embedded seamlessly.

The same steps apply if you’re replacing a background image: simply click on the background section in the timeline and follow the same Replace Background procedure.

Conclusion

In summary, replacing images and videos in Biteable is a simple task, whether you are working with standalone media or embedded backgrounds. For most scenarios, simply select the element, click replace, and pick your desired media.
