I'm trying to import an mp4 file for embedding on my website, but I get an error when I try to import it.

Cannot find module '../assets/robotShowcase.mp4' or its corresponding type declarations.

This is despite being able to import image and svg files.

While googling, I found a post with a similar question where the problem was solved by moving the file to the public folder in the root folder of the project, but after trying it, I got the same error.

Here's some example code:

import React from 'react';
import Worm from '../assets/Worm.png'
import Logo from '../assets/logo.svg'
import RobotShowcase from '../assets/robotShowcase.mp4'; //Error

function Home() {
  return (
    

        
        
        
    
  );
}

export default Home;
