Before you start

  • Open a project where you can add content.
  • Prepare a video you are permitted to upload and check Usage & limits.

The uploader accepts MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV and M4V. Check the upload screen and Usage & limits for the limits that apply to your account. A recognised extension does not guarantee that a damaged or unsupported video encoding can be processed.

  1. Open Projects, then open the destination project. Choose Upload video.
  2. Select the file and check the selected filename and any validation message.
  3. Choose Start upload. Keep the page open and follow the upload progress.
  4. When the source is ready, choose Generate on its row. Select Source language and the output language versions, then confirm Generate or Run AI as shown in the dialog.
  5. Wait for generation to finish, then choose Open editor on the guide and review it.

Expected result

The source video and the generated guide appear in the project at their respective stages. Upload completion alone is not guide completion.

Check the displayed error, available storage, network connection and file format. Do not assume that refreshing resumes an upload. Use the retry or resume action only when the uploader offers it, and check for an existing uploaded copy before submitting again.
