Media Library And Segments
Import videos or record additional screencast segments into an existing Fraime.it project.
Use the Media Library when a project needs more source footage after the first recording. You can import a video file, record another screencast segment, keep it in the project library, and place it on the timeline when you are ready.
Open the Media Library
Open the editor, then choose the Media tab in the inspector. The project media list shows the original recording plus any imported videos or recorded segments.
The original recording stays in place as the primary media item. New media is copied into the .fraimeit package so the project remains portable.
Import a video
- Click Import Video.
- Pick one or more video files.
- Fraime.it copies the files into the project package and appends them to the timeline.
Imported videos can be appended again or inserted at the current playhead from the Media Library row.
Record a new segment
Click Record Segment from the Media Library. Fraime.it opens the normal recording window with a visible banner showing that the capture will be added to the current project.
When you stop recording, the segment is saved into the existing project and appears in the Media Library. Segment media keeps its own capture sidecar so cursor, click, keyboard, scroll, IDE, and browser metadata can stay tied to the source recording.
Place media on the timeline
Each non-primary media item has two placement actions:
- Append places the media after the existing screen track content.
- Insert at Playhead splits at the playhead, ripples later content forward, and places the media at that point.
After inserting media in the middle, review nearby audio, subtitles, overlays, redactions, and zoom segments so pacing still feels intentional.
Export behavior
Preview and export resolve screen frames per clip, so segments and imported videos can render from their own source file. If the project has an audio lane, placed media also gets a paired audio clip so the exported video can include its sound.
