Yes. And here's why. When your project's small, finding what you need is easy. There’s a images, maybe some videos, and you pretty much know where to find everything.
In a lot of ways, Media Library is a lot like Story View. There's not much to look at when you're just getting started. But as your project grows, staying organized becomes so much tougher. And that's exactly when the Media Library it becomes so important. And that's what this class is all about.

Awesome discussion — Media Library is such a game-changer when you want to keep assets organized and consistent across courses. One thing I’ve found helpful in my own work is using Hypic for pre-editing images and assets before importing to Storyline’s media library. It helps with background removal, lighting tweaks, and consistency, so when you bring assets in, they’re already polished and ready to use.
