Drop
Multi-file drag & drop at /upload — any logged-in user. Progress per file; duplicates are flagged by content hash before they land.
Library
Drag. Drop. Done.
The uploader is a real pipeline, not a file input. Multi-file drag & drop with progress and duplicate detection — and by the time you land in the editor, posters, filmstrips, proxies, and a transcript are already waiting.
What happens after the drop.
Every upload runs the full ingest pipeline automatically. You never wait for a spinner — the library is working while you do something else.
Probe & fingerprint
ffprobe pulls metadata; sha256 fingerprints the asset — duplicates get caught, merged, and never pile up twice.
Proxies + filmstrip
720p and 540p editorial proxies plus a scrub rail render automatically. Editing stays instant on laptop Wi-Fi — masters never leave storage.
Transcribe & tag
Word-level transcript for search and captions; auto-tagging files it into collections. Everything is searchable the moment it lands.
Big files, bad Wi-Fi, no drama
Uploads that survive real life.
Direct multipart, 512 MB per file
The everyday path — drag, watch the progress bar, get to work.
Growing upload sessions
Chunked, resumable sessions via the API: append chunks, check status, finalize when ready. Big files and unstable connections stop being a gamble.
Watch folders
Drop files into an S3
watch/prefix; every 60 seconds the pipeline ingests them — proxies, transcript, tags — and pings you when they're ready.Duplicate detection at the gate
sha256 grouping and a merge path in the library — the same take never enters twice.
First-run assist
New to the editor? A first sequence already exists, and your first action — even a drop — starts a project and applies.
What you get, plain.
- Dedicated uploader page — multi-file, progress, duplicate detection, any logged-in user
- 512 MB per file direct multipart; resumable growing sessions via API for the rest
- Watch folders on S3 prefixes — ingest every 60 seconds, fully processed
- Proxy ladder on every asset — 720p + 540p + scrub rail
- Word-level transcript on every upload — searchable, caption-ready
- Duplicate detection with sha256 grouping and merge
- The screen recorder (/record) runs on the same chunked plumbing — a dropped connection never kills a take
