Replace Photo or Video assets

It would be nice if there was a replace feature for photo and video assets so that you don't have to resize or reposition them if you have a new version.

 

I think it would be helpful to have a replace function for photos and videos instead of having to import a new photo or video and resize and reposition it if you want to change what is currently there.

Hi ​@R_J_Roberts,

Thank you for the suggestion. To make sure it is described accurately for the product team, could you clarify a few details?

1. Where in Firefly are you working when you want to replace an asset: the video editor timeline, Firefly Boards, or somewhere else?
2. When you replace a photo or video today, what exactly do you have to redo? For example, position, scale, rotation, trim or duration, or effects and transitions applied to the clip.
3. When you swap in the new version, would you want it to keep the same size and position as the original, or fit to the frame?
4. For video, how should clips of different lengths behave? For example, should the new clip be trimmed to the original duration, or should the timeline adjust?

A screenshot or short screen recording showing where you would expect a Replace option to appear would also be very helpful.

Thank you!

Thanks ​@R_J_Roberts for writing in.
Yes, I agree. It would be great. At the same time, each image is not the same as the image before I find I am always having to make a few adjustments when replacing the image.

Cheers

Nate
