This article will guide you through uploading a session video recorded using an external device. Once uploaded, the video will function just like one recorded directly in SimCapture.

Things to Know Before You Begin

• SimCapture uses Amazon Transcoding Services, which supports a wide range of media formats including:
  • 3GP, AAC, AVI, FLV, MP4, MPEG-2
• If your video format isn't supported or fails to upload, please contact SimCapture Support for assistance.

How to Upload a Session Video

1. Log in to your SimCapture organization.
2. Select Sessions in the global navigation bar.
3. Select Import.
4. Either:
   • Drag and drop your video file, or
   • Click Choose File to browse and select your video.

During Upload

• Your video will be uploaded to the transcoding service.
• A progress bar will show the upload status.
• Upload time depends on:
  • Video length
  • Internet connection speed

While uploading, you can also:

• Select a Scenario
• Enter a Title
• Choose Organization and Location
• Add Notes
• Adjust the Session Date and Time to match when the video was recorded

Finalizing the Upload

• Once all videos show a green check mark, the Save button will become available.
• Click Save to complete the upload and go directly to the Session Viewer.

Note: Transcoding may take some time depending on video length. You can navigate away or log out-SimCapture will send an email notification when the session is ready (if it takes longer than 15 minutes).
