1 Add Images to a Video Track

Drag and drop: The easiest way to add an image to videos track is to drag and drop the selected image in the media library to the video track directly.

Using the Toolbar: To add an image to a video track, you can also place the playhead at the location where you want to insert an image, right-click on the image in the media library and select "Insert" from the drop-down list. If you want to add image to the end of the video, you can select "Append"option to add the image to the end.

Remove the black bars: To remove the black bars around the image, you can go to the "Wondershare Filmora 9" menu, choose the "Preferences" option. On the "Preference" window, click on the "Editing" button, and then you can apply the "Fit", "Crop to Fit" or "Pan & Zoom" effect to all of your images.

2 Add Images as Overlays

If you want to add and image as overlays, you can directly drag and drop the selected image to the video track which located above the track on which a specific video clip is positioned. Make sure that the image is located directly above the video so that it can overlay on the video clip.

Tips: By default, video track 1 is the bottom layer of your video, but by dragging and dropping an image above the video track 1, video track 2 will be automatically created.
