Understand Upload and Processing Statuses

Setup

• Sign in to the workspace where you uploaded source videos.
• Open Source Videos from the left sidebar.
• Have a recent upload or processing job to inspect.
• The upload status card appears in the left sidebar only while an upload, processing handoff, or recent ready state is active. If nothing is uploading or processing, the card is hidden.

Step by step

1. Open Source Videos

From the left sidebar, click Source Videos.

The page title reads Source Videos. The action row includes Upload video when you can add more source footage.

2. Start or watch an upload

Click Upload video to open the upload dialog and choose clips.

On desktop, Bevyl closes the upload dialog after the upload starts and moves progress to the left sidebar. On mobile, the upload dialog stays open so you can keep watching file progress.

3. Read the batch status

Use the status card title in the left sidebar to understand the whole batch:

• Uploading videos: Bevyl is still sending file data from your browser.
• Preparing videos: the file uploaded, and Bevyl is preparing it for editing.
• Uploads complete: the upload portion finished, but videos may still be preparing for editing.
• Upload failed: one or more files did not upload. Click Retry failed to try those files again.

If Bevyl shows Still uploading. Large videos can take longer., keep the browser tab open and wait for the upload to finish.

4. Read each file row

The card lists up to five active items. Failed rows appear first, then uploading rows, processing rows, ready rows, and completed uploads.

Use the row label to decide what to do next:

• Uploading: keep the tab open while Bevyl uploads the file.
• Processing: Bevyl received the file and is preparing it for editing.
• Uploaded: the upload finished for that file.
• Failed: click Retry failed from the card, or upload the file again.
• Queued: Bevyl has the video and is waiting to process it.
• Ready: the video is available to edit.

If more than five items are active, the card shows +N more. If hidden items failed, Bevyl includes the failed count in that same line.

5. Check the Source Videos page

On Source Videos, processing videos show Processing video… on the card. In list view, the status pill reads Processing and the second pill reads Analyzing.

When a video is ready, the video card shows See analysis and opens the video detail page. Click See analysis to confirm its status.

If a source video shows Error, processing failed. Re-upload the source clip or contact support if the file fails again.

6. Check the video detail page

Click See analysis on any video card from Source Videos.

The detail page shows the status near the top of the page. A ready video shows Ready.

7. Choose email notification if you need to leave

While the upload batch is active, select Email me when all videos are ready. if you want Bevyl to notify you after the videos finish preparing.

If something blocks you

• Upload failed: click Retry failed. If it fails again, check the file size, file type, and your connection before re-uploading.
• Processing does not change: keep the page open for a few minutes. Large source videos can take longer to prepare.
• Error: upload a fresh copy of the source clip, or contact support with the video name and workspace.

Done

You know which upload and processing states are still active, which ones need action, and which ones mean the video is ready to edit.

Next actions:

• Open ready videos from Source Videos.
• Start a draft after the source footage you need shows Ready.
