Adding and Managing Assets in Studio – Bynder Support

A video is made up of a number of assets; images, videos and text. You can select assets that are stored in the Asset Bank directly in Studio. Alternatively, you can store and manage assets in the asset section in Studio. Before we can use images and videos, first we need to add them to the platform. Find out below how you can upload and manage your assets in Studio .

Each asset has a unique ID which cannot be changed. This does not affect renaming assets.
