Media & Uploads
What you can upload, the 512 MB limit, the analysis that runs in the background, and capturing straight from your phone.
Everything starts with footage. Here's how to get it into Klipeo and what happens once it's there.
Adding media
Drag files onto the Media tab in the assets panel, or use the Import button in its header, or click the "Import media" tile in the grid. Dragging anywhere over the panel puts a drop overlay up so you know it'll land. Then drag any asset from the panel onto a track to use it.
While files upload you get an "Uploading N files" toast and a shimmering tile per file. If Klipeo had to skip something (wrong type, over the size cap), a dismissible Some files were skipped notice explains why, file by file.
Klipeo takes the usual formats:
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Video | MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI |
| Audio | MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A |
| Image | PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP |
The limit is 512 MB per file. For a project saved to the cloud, uploads go to Klipeo's storage. For a local project, they stay as in-browser references.
Finding things in the Media tab
Once you have more than a handful of files, the header row helps you dig:
- Switch between a grid of thumbnails and a denser list.
- Search by name.
- Filter by Type (video, audio, image) or by Label color.
- Sort by order added, newest, oldest, name A–Z, or longest first.
- Star a file to favorite it, then flip the favorites filter on.
Hover a card and you get its actions: Insert at playhead (pushes everything after it to the right), Overwrite at playhead (drops it in place over what's there), Append to end of track, favorite, remove (with a confirm), and a label dot that cycles through eight colors so you can group your footage by hand.
What happens after upload
When you add a video, Klipeo looks at it in the background so the AI and the timeline understand it. This runs on its own, and you can keep editing while it works.
Two things come out of this. First, the timeline gets bookmarks dropped on scene cuts and silences, so you can jump around quickly. Second, Vibe can act on what it learned, so "cut the dead air" or "keep the part about pricing" just works.
Analysis is best-effort
If a step can't run on a particular file, Klipeo logs it and moves on rather than blocking your edit. You'll still be able to cut and arrange by hand. Transcription in particular depends on the audio being clear speech.
Capture from your phone
Shot something on your phone? You don't need to email it to yourself. In the editor, use Capture from phone. Klipeo shows a QR code. Scan it, and your phone opens a simple upload page tied to your session by a short-lived pairing code. Pick your clips there and they land straight in this project's media.
The pairing code is upload-only and expires after about ten minutes, so there's nothing to clean up afterwards. It doesn't show up in your API keys list, because it isn't an API key. It's the fastest way to get phone footage onto the timeline.
