# Image with text
The **Image with text** section combines a feature image with a marketing call to action block. With a flexible layout and optional button, it's a great way to introduce a product collection or something new and exciting.
## Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can [create new templates](/lorenza/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md#create-and-assign-multiple-templates) or [use metafields and dynamic sources](/lorenza/general/adapting-your-theme/dynamic-content-with-metafields.md).
{% endhint %}
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Select a **Template** to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.
> Learn how to use templates in our [Templates guide](/lorenza/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md).
2. Under **Template**, click **(+) Add section** and select **Image with text**.
3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles **`⋮⋮`** to re-order your sections.
## Add feature image
Upload a feature image to display on the left or right of the marketing text block. You can adjust the width, shape, and focal point of your image.
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Click on the **Image with text** section to open the section settings.
2. Under **Section Content**, click **Select image** to upload and select an image file.
> There are no required images dimensions. We simply recommend uploaded images have a minimum width of **`2500px`** for optimal quality across all devices.
> See our article for image recommendations for Lorenza to learn more.
3. (*Optional*.) Use the **Section style** dropdown at the top to use **Contrast** colors or set your image to **Full-height**.
> The **Contrast** style uses the contrast colors in your **Theme Settings**.
4. Choose whether to **Enable animation** to show visual effects when scrolling, hovering, or interacting with the section.
5. Choose to set the **Image width** to either *1/2* or *2/3* of the section.
6. Select an **Image aspect ratio** to crop your image to **Square**, **Landscape**, or **Portrait**.
> The default **Natural** setting will display the original orientation of your image.
7. Select the **Media focal point** to choose which portion of the image to keep centered within the image block.
> Use the focal point to make sure the key part of your image remains visible when cropping occurs.
8. Select the **Media position** to display the image on the **Left** or **Right** side of the section.
> The text content will display on the opposite side of the image.
9. Click **Save**.
## Add autoplay video
Instead of a feature image, add a muted autoplay video that loops continuously. You need to upload a .mp4 video to your Shopify admin and copy the link into your theme editor settings.
| File Format | .mp4 video (required) |
| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
| File size | Maximum 10MB (recommended) |
| Duration | 5 - 10 seconds (recommended) |
{% hint style="info" %}
The autoplay video does not play audio. To embed a single video from YouTube or Vimeo with audio, see Lorenza's Video section.
{% endhint %}

1. Go to **Content > Files** to open your [Shopify files](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-admin/productivity-tools/file-uploads).
2. Click the **Upload files** button to add your **`.mp4`** file from your computer.
3. Once your file has been processed, click the **Link icon** next to the file to copy the *URL*.
> You may need to refresh the page for your file to appear.
In the theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Paste the link into the **Video link** field. Click on the the link that appears in the results above.
2. Click **Save**.

1. Click on the **Text** blocks to change the **Small heading**, **Heading**, and **Subheading**.
2. Click on the **Image with text** section to open the section settings.
