# Media Assets
> Upload, search, and manage video, image, and audio assets. Fabl extracts technical metadata automatically and keeps it in sync.
The **media asset library** is where your video, image, and audio files live. Upload assets, browse and search them, and view detailed technical metadata that Fabl extracts automatically.
## Upload media
Click **Upload media** and select one or more files. Fabl supports common video, image, and audio formats. As each file uploads, you'll see its progress; several files can upload at once.
During upload, Fabl reads the file's properties locally, generates a thumbnail for videos, stores the file, and then extracts full technical metadata in the background. Extracted details appear on the asset automatically when ready.
Uploading and editing media requires the media management permission. See [Roles and permissions](/team/roles-and-permissions).
## Browse and search
The library lists your assets with a thumbnail, type, duration, resolution, file size, and creation date. You can:
* **Search** by title or description
* **Filter** by type — video, image, or audio
## Asset details
Open an asset to see a preview and its full metadata, including:
* Resolution, frame rate, and duration
* Container format and content type
* Video codec and bitrate
* Audio codec, bitrate, channels, and sample rate
* File size, upload date, and who uploaded it
From the detail view you can edit the title and description, download the asset, and — for video — manage subtitles and view encoded versions.
## Next steps
Create encoding profiles and transcode video into delivery-ready variants.
Create and edit captions on a timeline and attach them to an asset.
