How do I upload a large quantity of files?

• Place your media files in an online platform, like YouTube, Vimeo or Dropbox, and then use our List of URLs feature to submit them. NOTE: If you require Video Encoding for your media file, submitting it from YouTube or Vimeo is not possible.

• Place your media files in Google Drive and use our Google Drive integration to submit them. When you get the files uploaded onto that online platform, you can make the Captioning requests directly from your Google Drive. Note: this method is only available for files in the MP4, M4V, or MP3 format. To transcode other formats into MP4, M4V, or MP3, you can use a converter.

• Place your media files in Box and use our Box integration to submit them. When you get the files uploaded onto that online platform, you can make the Captioning requests directly from your Box account.

• Another option is to use our AST-Link feature for Windows or Mac. Both use secure SFTP to submit batches of files. Some setup is required, but then it remains part of your account. More information is available in our AST-Link section.
