In the library panel, you can search for stock videos, images, etc., provided by Videostew and load them onto the stage. The elements are organized into tabs like "Recent", "Favorites", "User", and "Stock".
Here is a list of elements you've used recently.
Frequently used elements can be saved to Favorites, and added to the Favorites list. After hovering the mouse over an element, click the settings (▼) button to add it to Favorites.
This is the live library of elements uploaded directly by the user. You can add images or video files by dragging them onto the screen from the explorer or by clicking the [Upload](/guide/edit/basic/narration/upload) button. (If you drag and drop files into the live Library Window, they are not entered on the stage but only added to the list.)
Additionally, the user tab allows you to find uploaded resources more easily through category classification.
Category|Description
--|--
All|Shows all resources uploaded by users
Upload|Shows only the resources that were uploaded by clicking the upload button
Paste|Shows only the images that were copied & pasted from the web
Drag-and-Drop|Shows only the elements that were uploaded by drag and drop from the computer's file explorer
Using the above classification can make file management more convenient. For example, frequently used resources can be added through the "Upload" button or by setting your own rules.
If you hover the mouse over a resource, a settings button appears. Here, you can click "Select Multiple" and define the range by pressing the `SHIFT` key to select multiple items at once.

Please proceed with the deletion through the trash can icon at the top right. However, if the resources have already been used in another project, please be careful when you wish to edit that project again as the elements may not load properly.
This is the stock live library provided by Videostew. You can change the search engine by category for each element, and search results vary by engine.
If the auto-added b-roll elements (images and videos) do not suit your taste, you can search for recommended stock images based on the content you entered.

< Find videos and images by matching text >
You can also click the settings (▼) button to perform a "Search based on b-roll". This function searches for stock resources that are relevant and similar to the images currently included in the slide.
While creating a library, you can add AI images to the image tab. Based on the content entered for each slide, you can add realistic images with AI Photo and AI Illustrations in a digital art style.

< Add public AI image window >
When you press the `+ Add` button, a modal window appears to add AI images. By default, if there is a text block entered within the slide, the text will be fetched.
The size of the image to be added can be selected from square, horizontal, and vertical, with the default value being square. (It is recommended to add in square format.)
Videostew's AI image addition feature is designed to be easy to use for everyone, even without much knowledge of prompts. Generally, the text you enter into the content has a distance from the image. To add the highest quality images, it is recommended to add prompts and refine them to get high-quality AI images.

< Search AI Image Library >
All AI images added by Videostew users are converted into a searchable format and stored in the public library. When you enter a search term, the newly added AI images appear in the list, and you can drag and drop them into the slide from the [library].
Copyright for AI images added in Videostew can be checked in detail in the [AI Image Copyright](/guide/faq/edit/copyright-ai-images) guide document.

< Add as Similar Style >
If there is an image you like in the public AI image library, you can click the "Mouse Right Click > Create Similar Style" button to add a similar image. You can also briefly describe the idea you want to add in the text input window, allowing you to add an image that more closely matches the situation you are thinking of.
