Upload multiple videos simultaneously

I would like to have the ability to upload multiple videos at once. Currently, the upload flow only allows for one video file at a time, which can be time-consuming. It would be beneficial to have a feature that supports uploading multiple videos simultaneously to streamline the process.

Hi Masa, thanks for the request. Bulk uploading multiple videos at once makes a lot of sense, especially if you’re adding a batch of content.
To make sure we scope this correctly, can you share a bit more about your workflow?
1) Where are the videos coming from most often: your computer, a shared drive (Google Drive/Dropbox), or another source?
2) About how many videos do you typically upload in one session (and average file size / length)?
3) Do you want them to upload in parallel (simultaneously) or is “select many and queue them” sufficient as long as it runs hands-off?
4) After upload, do you need any bulk actions (apply the same title/naming pattern, folder, tags, thumbnail, CTA, sharing settings), or do you customize each one individually?
5) Should the uploader support drag-and-drop of multiple files, multi-select via file picker, or both?
6) What should happen if one file fails (retry, skip and continue, show a report at the end)?
If you can answer those, we can better understand the ideal experience and constraints and prioritize the right approach.

Abe Dearmer Sorry for the delay in replying, and thanks for giving it consideration. (1) various sources mainly from the video gen tools. (2) For each campaign, I import three video files, first for the dynamic part, second for the static, and third for general sharing. For a major launch, we set up 6-10 campaigns in one go. 2-3 launches every month. (3) select and queue is better than no functionality like that, but it's far better if it's simultaneous, so that I can chain the dynamic and static straight after import. (4) no. naming rules are applied when the videos are generated at the source. (5) drag-and-drop would be great (6) a report
