Importing one file at a time is fine for a single video and miserable for a season. Batch video import lets you select a whole set of files — a series of episodes, a month of streams, a podcast backlog — and queue them in one action while you do something else.
The payoff comes after the upload: with everything in one workspace, you can run the same operation across the set — transcribe every episode, compress an entire archive, convert a mixed folder to MP4 — instead of babysitting files one by one.

Batch workflows that save the most hours
Bulk import is the front door to every repetitive job in the pipeline. The patterns that pay off fastest:
How the import queue behaves
Each file in the queue is its own job: it uploads, lands in your workspace, and becomes editable without waiting for its neighbors. If one item fails — an unsupported codec, a corrupted file — the queue carries on, and you fix or convert just that file rather than re-running the batch.
For very large batches, compress oversized files locally first or trim what you don't need; total upload time is the only part of the workflow your connection controls.
How to use the Recapo batch video import
Three steps, fully in the cloud — nothing to install.
Step 1: Queue the whole set
Select multiple files in one pass — mixed formats like MP4, MOV and MKV can share a queue. Each file shows its own progress.
Step 2: Let the queue run itself
Files upload in turn while you keep working. Items are independent, so one slow or failed file never blocks the rest of the batch.
Step 3: Process in bulk, refine per file
Apply one job — transcription, compression, conversion — across all imports, then open individual videos for scripts, voiceover or cuts.
Frequently asked questions about the batch video import
Can I mix different formats in one batch?
Yes. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and GIF can share a single queue. If you plan to process them identically afterwards, converting stragglers to MP4 keeps the batch uniform.
Do all files have to get the same processing?
No. Bulk operations like transcription or compression can run across the whole set, but every imported video remains individually editable for scripts, voiceover, cropping and export.
What happens if one file in the batch fails?
The rest of the queue keeps going. Failed items stay flagged so you can convert, compress or re-add just those files — you never lose the batch to one bad input.
How many videos can I import in one batch?
Batch Video Import is built to queue several source videos at once rather than handling them one by one. Very large queues import in stages so nothing gets dropped, and you can keep adding clips while earlier items finish.
Can I mix local files and video links in the same batch?
Yes. You can queue both local uploads and pasted video links together and import them in one pass, so you don't have to run separate import tools for each source type.
