Upload clips

Once your project is created, the next step is to add your media files. TakeCript uses these clips to build a timeline that matches your script.

Supported formats

TakeCript accepts files with video/* and audio/* MIME types (for example MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, MP3, WAV, M4A, and more).

Upload modes

When you start uploading files, TakeCript offers two modes depending on how your files are organized:

Organized mode

Choose this mode if you already know the role of each file. You will see separate dropzones for each media type — drag each file into the correct zone:

• A-roll — main footage
• B-roll — supplementary footage
• Music — background music
• Voice-over — narration audio

In this mode, file type can be edited while a file is still pending upload (or failed). Once a file is already uploaded in this list, you need to remove it and upload it again with the desired type.

Mixed mode ("Upload everything together")

Choose this mode when you have many files and prefer not to classify them manually. Drop all your files into a single upload zone and TakeCript will analyze each one automatically.

How auto-classification works:

1. Track detection — checks whether each file has video, audio, or both.
2. Audio energy analysis — for files with audio, TakeCript estimates whether the audio is audible or effectively silent.
3. Visual refinement (ambiguous cases) — for unclear video+audio files, TakeCript can use face detection to improve the suggested type.
4. Initial suggestion with confidence — each file gets a suggested type plus a confidence score.

After processing completes, a review screen shows every file with its assigned type and confidence. You can correct any misclassification before continuing.

With your clips uploaded and classified, you are ready to add the script that drives the automatic matching.
