Projects & Media Version 1.0Updated 27 Sep 2026

Import media and supported files

Import media into Project Viewer before or while placing it in an edit. Yrendr accepts the supported video, image, audio and subtitle formats listed below.

Supported file types

Type	Extensions
Video	`.mp4`, `.mov`, `.avi`, `.mkv`, `.webm`, `.m4v`
Image	`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.bmp`, `.gif`, `.webp`
Audio	`.mp3`, `.wav`, `.ogg`, `.flac`, `.m4a`, `.opus`
Subtitle	`.srt`, `.vtt`, `.ass`, `.ssa`

Import from the file picker

Press Ctrl+I or Ctrl+M, or choose Import in Project Viewer.
Select a supported file.
Confirm the file picker.
Find the imported asset in Project Viewer.

Import with drag and drop

Drag a supported file from the operating system into Yrendr. The target below the pointer determines how the drop is handled:

Project Viewer imports the asset.
Timeline and Preview targets can import and place supported media in one action.

Duration behavior

Video and audio duration comes from the source media when it can be determined. Still images and generated assets use the configured generated-item duration when they are created or placed.

Tip: Keep original source files in a stable project folder when possible. Normal .yrendr projects reference media instead of embedding it.
