Most professionals use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. If you are one of them or if you are leaning Premiere Pro, the process becomes slightly lengthy. However, as Prermiere Pro is an old editor, you get other options with it to make your video creative.

Open your Premiere Pro project.
In the Project panel, right-click and select Import or use the shortcut Ctrl + I.

Drag your image from the Project panel to the Timeline.
