Overview
Uploading media into your Veritone Redact account is a quick and seamless process. You can upload a media file from your local system in a supported format. If a video is located outside of your local system, export it from the external location to the desktop or a folder on your computer, and then upload it to Redact.
Video Tutorial
Uploading Media with Tile View
1. To begin, select the Upload Media button in the top left corner of the Redact Homepage.
2. The Redact File Picker will now appear. You can drag and drop your files directly into the File Picker or select browse to pull up files saved on your computer. You can upload up to 5 files at once.
3. Once you’ve selected your file(s) for upload, you can select any/all of the checkboxes at the bottom left corner of the File Picker. Depending on your selections, this will run our engines to scan your file for heads, persons, and objects (license plates, laptops, notepads) and generate a transcript for audio redaction. This step is not required, but will save you time in the redaction process.
Additionally, a Settings Profile is applied to your file(s) upon upload. To utilize one of the Setting Profiles your agency has created, you’ll simply select this from the dropdown menu while uploading media. If no settings profile is selected, the Veritone default profile will be used automatically.
Once you've made your selections, click the Upload button.
4. File upload times may vary based on a variety of factors including file size, network speeds, and how many objects are detected in a video. Once your file finishes processing, you will receive a notification in the Notification Center.
PRO TIP: All of the video processing runs in the cloud. If you’re working on a larger file, say 1-2 hours, you do not need to stay in the application waiting for it to process. You can close out of your browser or shut down your computer after the file uploads and the processing will continue in the cloud.
5. Once the file is uploaded, it will be displayed on the Redact Homepage with a 'Draft' status set. Click on the filename to open your media file to begin the redaction process.
Uploading Media with Folders View
1. To upload media, you will create a Request first, which will automatically create an Input folder.
2. There are three ways to upload media in the folder view. First, use the Upload Media button, which is enabled only if you are in your Input Folder. The second way is by selecting “Upload Media” from the 3 dot menu of your Input folder, which becomes visible when you hover over the folder. And the third way is by selecting “Upload Media” from the 3 dot menu from within the Input folder.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 under Uploading Media with Tile View
4. Once your file is uploaded, it will appear in your Input Folder and have a color-coded status.
5. Once your file finishes processing, you will receive a notification in the Notification Center.
