Send your mobile recordings to the desktop Video Editor

For Premier and Max Plans, a copy of recordings created on the mobile app can be automatically transferred to our desktop video editor.  This enables you to combine your mobile recordings with other videos and take advantage of the richer editing features available in the desktop app.

Follow these steps to connect the mobile app to your account in order to transfer content to the desktop video editor:

1. Open our app on your mobile device.     

2. In the bottom right corner of the app, tap Settings.

3. Tap Add Account.

This opens a sign-in page: 

4. On the sign-in page, you can enter your email address and password to sign in, or you can sign in using a Google or Apple account.

5. After you sign in, you are presented with the Allow Uploads screen. Tap Yes, allow uploads to allow content to be uploaded to your account.

6. After this step return to the Settings screen and tap the email shown for the connected account.  On the Account Settings screen swipe the slider to the right next to Connect to Desktop Editor.  You must have an available data connection and can configure the transfer of recordings to use Wi-Fi only or Mobile Data & Wi-Fi.   By default, the app will only use Wi-Fi for transfers.

7. When you move the slider to the right, a screen appears where you are asked to confirm the connection to your Desktop Video Editor and provide a Device Name.  The Device Name will be used to name the files transferred to your desktop so you know the file origin is your mobile device.

After you configure the connection, all your existing recording and any future recordings or videos you import into the mobile app will automatically be uploaded to the desktop app for editing.
