Thank you that was exactly what I needed. I don't know where those
instructions are but this works wonderfully.

There's no directory /core/images/video. If you type (or copy) the text
$:/core/images/video into a tiddler and preview it, you will see a link to.
If you follow the link, you will come to a tiddler that has a SVG image as
its contents.
To get an image into TW, you need to either drag and drop the image
into your TW (not recommended except for very small images), or use the
[img[]] wikitext or the <$image> widget to refer to images that are
external to the TW. There are different ways to do it, and some of them
will depend on how your are running TW (as a free-standing file or under
node.js). See Tony's prior post for pointers what to do.

Re: [tw5] Re: Images help
I'm not sure if you tried this. In case you did not:
1. Open your tiddlywiki in your browser.
2. Open your file manager and navigate to the folder that contains the
picture you want in Tiddlywiki.
3. Drag the picture onto the tiddlywiki in your browser. You should see
a green bar at the top of the browser page that says, "Drop here (or use
the Esc key to cancel)".
4. Drop the picture there.
5. This should create a new tiddler with with the words, "These tiddlers
are ready to import:" near the top.
6. Press the import button.
7. Save your tiddlywiki.
You should now have a tiddler with a name that is the filename you dragged.
You can then treat it like a tiddler that is an image.
Note: The image is a copy of the image file encoded in base64 (I believe)
and is a part of the tiddlywiki file. Adding many large images can make
loading tiddlywiki very slow.

Re: [tw5] Re: Images help
After further investigation I am still stumped as to how I get an image
that is local to my machine to display within a Tiddler. I have no problem
getting online images to display. I don't want to rely on having an
internet connection to be able to add a photo or other image to a Tiddler.
This is a deal breaker for me and if I can't figure it out I will be moving
on to other tools.

Those names are confusing, aren't they? The names of various system

There's no directory /core/images/video. If you type (or copy) the text

Ed,
Perhaps explain a little more what you want to do.
To respond to you open question, here are a few notes
- Drag and drop images or use the import button to get them into
tiddlywiki
- Research the canonical uri and more for referencing external images
- Add an icon field to any tiddler and provide an Icon tiddler title for
it to display with the title
- Transclude an image tiddler in your tiddlers text {{imagetiddler}}
- Use the image widget https://tiddlywiki.com/#ImageWidget
- Or follow these wikitext
instructions https://tiddlywiki.com/#Images%20in%20WikiText
