Handling project media

The starting point for most subtitling projects is one or more videos. Once a joblist has been created in Plint, the first job is often to make this media available. The goal is to eliminate the need for any manual file handling by freelancers and other users. One way of accomplishing this is through a "Media upload" job.

(Please note that this is the most basic method. Media can also be made available to the system through automated means and integration.)

Media upload by project manager

Since this is a job, it is assigned to someone (typically the project manager) and available on their Dashboard. Select "Upload media" to start. 

 

Click the dropzone to browse for the file on your local computer or network (or just drop the file on it). Please note that only one file can be uploaded with this delivery method. With a correctly set up project and template, this means that the file will then be automatically linked to the correct project and part. 

Once a file has been selected, you will get some additonal options before submitting the form. 

Finally, after upload, a "Verify media" job may be waiting for you on the Dashboard. This is to ensure that the media will work with the online editor. Please note that processing the file may take some time.
