Once uploaded, the video will undergo encoding and tagging. This process may take some time depending on the video's duration. You do not need to wait for video processing to complete. An email notification will be sent to you once the video processing is completed and your video is ready to be used.
Video creation and tagging
After uploading, the video will be available for search and for adding to playlists. Once the system finishes processing the video, it will be available for auto-recommendations and playback on the player.

You can use the video to embed into online pages by clicking the embed icon (highlighted below).
Note
The video will be available for playback only once processing is completed.
Personal Settings
You can define specific rules based on various video parameters to govern how videos are handled once they are uploaded - with whom they are shared and where they appear. These settings are found on your Personal Settings page.
Multiple Uploads
It is easy to upload multiple videos. When you do this, you have the flexibility to simultaneously upload videos and navigate to other areas of the platform.
When you upload new content through the AnyClip Studio, your progress will be visible on a separate ‘upload progress dialog’ at the bottom of your screen. Should you choose to upload more content, your uploads will be stacked, so you can monitor the progression of each file. You can track the progress of all of your new content while you navigate away from your video library to work on other important tasks. Ensure the browser tab showing video upload progress remains open.
