Methods to Import Media Files into Filmora
There are 3 ways to import media files into Filmora.
Check the complete list of supported file formats here.
Method 1
Click File > Import Media. Choose Import Media Files, Import a Media Folder, Import from a Camera or a Phone, or Import with Auto Beat Sync.

There is also a click entry for Import in the bar next to Project Media.

The Beat Sync operation window will pop up if you click Import with Auto Beat Sync. Click Import Media from the upper left corner.

You can click to learn more about Auto Beat Sync.
Method 2
With media selected in the menu bar, click on the first tab Project Media. Click the import media area as shown below, and then choose one or more media files from the pop-up window.

Method 3
Drag and drop media files into the Media Library.
When you import a media file, Filmora may ask you to create a proxy file to accelerate your editing process.
A proxy file is a second media file smaller than your original file. Usually, more timeline efficiency will be required when the video has a very high resolution.
Creating a proxy file can lower the video resolution in the editing to accelerate the whole editing process without affecting the final export quality.

How To Make Image Sequence Into a Video
- Import Image Sequence: Click "Import" to upload your JPEG/JPG images. Alternatively, you can drag and drop them into the media library. Select the first image, check the "Import as image sequence" box, and click "Open." Make sure your images are in JPEG format and named in order.(e.g., image001.jpg, image002.jpg).
- Add to Timeline: Drag the image sequence to the timeline. Right-click any image to adjust the duration if needed.
- Export Your Video: Click "Export," choose your video format and frame rate, set the output location, and click "Export" to create your video.
Note:
We recommend selecting Yes to create proxy files for a faster video editing experience.How to Select Multiple Files at Once
- Holding down the Ctrl key or the Shift key as you click a file.
- Ctrl allows you to select multiple files anywhere on your file list, not necessarily next to each other.
- Shift allows you to choose a group of files next to each other. Click one file, hold Shift and click the last file. All in-between files can be selected.
You only have to have the Ctrl or Shift key held down while clicking. Once you are finished selecting files, you can let go of the key, and the files you selected will remain selected. Note: If you're using Filmora 9 or 10, click here to learn how to import media clips.
