Upload footage to Guin

What you can upload


File types	MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, MXF
Maximum file size	10 GB per file
Maximum resolution	4K. Files larger than 4096 pixels on either side are not supported.
At once	Up to 10 files uploading or processing at the same time

Phone footage, camera footage, drone footage, and screen captures all work as long as they are in one of these formats.

Photos and audio files, such as voice notes, are coming soon. For now, upload video.

Add footage

Start from Home, Clip Studio, or the Editor

Each of these has a prompt box with an Upload button. In the Smart Editor you can also drag files straight onto the page.

Pick your files

Choose one file or many. Uploads are resumable, so a dropped connection picks up where it left off. You can cancel or retry a file at any point.

Let Guin prepare them

Processing starts as each file finishes uploading. You can write your request while it runs.

To reuse footage you uploaded before, click Media library in the prompt box and pick from what is already there.

Footage is added from Home, Clip Studio, or a project. Uploading straight into the Media library page is not available yet.

Processing states

Each file shows where it is up to.

State	What is happening
processing footage	Guin is making a playback copy and pulling out the audio.
transcribing	Speech is being transcribed with word timing.
analyzing footage	Guin is watching the visuals and listening to the audio.
finding shots	Guin is detecting where the camera cuts.
Ready	The file can be used in Clip Studio and the Smart Editor.
needs reprocessing for clips	The file needs to be processed again before Clip Studio can use it.
failed	Something went wrong with this file. Retry the upload.

Processing time grows with the length of the file. A short phone clip is ready quickly. An hour-long interview takes longer.

Tips

Upload the originals. 4K exports are rendered from your original files, so better sources give you better exports.

Send everything from the shoot. Guin skips the unusable takes, so you do not have to find them first.

Keep audio on. Guin uses speech for captions and for finding moments. Silent footage still works, but there is less for it to go on.
