Importing videos
Learn how to import videos into Fable.
To import your video files into Fable:
Drag and drop the file into the Editor.
Or, upload it via the Asset Browser
⌥L
Your video will automatically render when you play your project.
Supported file formats
MP4
MOV
AVI
Customizing your video
Move videos around the canvas, adjust properties, add effects, mask them, and more, just like any other layer.
Understanding video properties
Source: Control the video file playing on the layer. Swap between files while keeping transforms, keyframes, and effects.
How to swap: Select a video layer, find "Source" in the Inspector, click the dropdown, and choose another uploaded video.
Dimensions: Explicit control over video dimensions with options for texture sizing.
Options: Cover (scale to fill object) or Contain (fit entire video within set dimensions).
Texture sizes are measured in pixels, indicating the texture's length and width. Adjusting dimensions can result in a render with a different aspect ratio than the original file, so texture sizes offer greater control.
Special video functions
Editing in the Timeline: Trim in and out points by dragging the duration bar. Move the duration bar across the timeline.
Audio Control: Manage audio associated with videos.
Options: Toggle playback, mute audio, or detach audio from the video for independent timing.
