# Essential Graphics - Media Replacement issue

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-04-07)

I was trying to improve some of my work templates using *Essential Graphics*, which I absolutely love, for the first time I'm adding the **media replacement** function to it but it doesn't seem to work.

I've tried images, videos and an actual AE placeholder but it just doesn't seem to accept any of my assets.

Check [this tutorial](https://youtu.be/9Ag5QdkP9rA?t=330) at **05:30** where she successfully achieves what I'm trying to do.

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issue, I'm probably doing something wrong but I don't seem to see where.

**Tags:** video, after-effects, animation
