# Geenius OS Media library

> How Video uses the Geenius OS Media library: pictures in as copies, renders and posters out as items, the scopes involved and the hand-off from Media.

Video can work with the **Geenius OS Media library** through two scopes, never through a private import.

## Pictures in

With the `media.read` scope, an image slot offers **From Geenius OS Media**. The picture comes in as a **copy**, and Media notes "used in Geenius Video".

## Renders out

With the `media.write` scope, a rendered video offers **Save to Geenius OS Media**: the MP4 and its poster become a Media item.

## Hand-off

In Media, **Use in…** lists every installed app that holds `media.read` and opens it with the picture. In Video that starts a new video from the picture: a blog-post cover, the first slide of a feature tour or the first screen of an app teaser.

## Good to know

- You consent to the scopes when you sign in with Geenius OS.
- Access is fenced to the one Geenius OS workspace Video belongs to.
- Without Geenius OS you can still upload pictures directly.
