Starting an Upload

Prepare all related media (videos, photos, audio, documents) files to transfer from your device and/or computer. Files to make sure to include might be a company-branded logo in JPG or PNG file type.

For example, if the video is referencing a real estate listing add all related photos or video clips into the project media.

Select two options to upload files:

• The status can also be seen in the media panel as Processing media

Once completed, you can view all the media items or filter the media by type:

Potential Upload Errors

If your media upload fails an error will show up in the media file box, the media can be deleted and then repeat the upload steps again. There will be a green check boxes showing successful upload status per item.

Renaming Media for Editors

For the media title, the system automatically removes the extensions and converts underscores to spaces.

For ease of use and for the editors, please rename media files once uploads are completed, to clearly describe the content for script additions.

For example: change "DSC_0123" to "Living Room 1", we recommend creating sequential naming specific to the media

• Simply click the title line on the media item you can change it directly in this field
• Press ENTER or click √ Save at the lower right portion of the screen to save all filename changes

1. Delete - You will be asked to confirm each deletion

1. Download - click it and the file will start to download to your device or computer
