This guide is for creators taking a film from a file on disk to a public Watch page. It covers the upload, the details viewers see, the AI Origin disclosure, thumbnail and subtitles, and publishing. You end with a live film and a link to share.
In the Creator Hub, open Content Library and click Upload video at the top right. The Upload & Publish page opens. An empty library also offers Upload your first, and the Dashboard accepts a dropped file anywhere on the page.
Drag your film onto the Drag & drop your film here zone, or click Choose file. The upload starts as soon as the file is selected; nothing else waits on it.
The progress panel shows the file name, the percentage and an Uploading badge. Uploads are resumable: Pause holds the transfer, Cancel upload drops it, and a dropped connection pauses it on its own with a Resume offer. If you close the tab, re-select the same file later and it continues from where it stopped. A sticky bar at the top of the Creator Hub follows the transfer.
The Details panel unlocks as soon as the upload starts. Fill in the Title and, optionally, the Description (up to 5,000 characters). Every change autosaves to the draft and a Saved marker confirms it. When the transfer completes, the panel reads Upload complete — processing: renditions and thumbnail frames are being prepared in the background, and you can keep editing or leave the page.
The Add a few details to publish card lists what publishing still needs: Title, Category, Genre and Primary AI tool. Set them on the upload page, or later from the Library via the row's Item actions menu (the three dots) and Edit.
Scroll to AI Origin. This disclosure is shown to viewers on the Watch page and makes your film searchable by tool.
If your tool is not listed, Suggest a tool… sends the name for review; it becomes selectable once an admin adds it.
The Thumbnail section accepts either an auto-generated frame or your own image. Click Upload custom thumbnail and pick a JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB. When processing has produced frames, a frame grid appears here as well and you can pick one instead. Until then the section reads Frames available after processing.
In Subtitles, click Upload subtitle file and choose a .srt or .vtt file up to 2 MB. Once processing completes the caption track attaches and the badge reads Captions live; viewers turn captions on with the player's caption toggle. Replace swaps the file, Remove detaches it, and Retry attach recovers an Attach failed badge.
Back in Content Library, the Pipeline column tracks the background work: Processing while renditions are prepared, Complete when the film is ready to publish, Failed if something went wrong (the row then offers Retry). A Ready to publish notification lands in the bell; you do not need to keep the page open.
Each row has a Publish button and an Item actions menu (the three dots) with Edit, View analytics, Duplicate, Add to series, Schedule and Delete.
If a required field is still missing, a dialog lists it and offers Open the editor.
A toast reads Published — it's live and the Status column switches to Published. The row button turns into Unpublish, which moves the film back to Draft. A published film keeps its required details; unpublish first if you need to clear them.
Every published film has a public Watch page. Open it from the editor's Preview button or your public profile and share the link. Viewers can play, like, watchlist, comment on the timeline, tip and follow from here. The AI Origin panel below the player shows the tools you declared.
