Can I add separate videos together in OneTake?

OneTake currently supports only one uploaded video per project. This means you cannot upload multiple separate video files and combine them into a single edited video inside the platform.

Why OneTake works with only one video at a time

When a video is uploaded, OneTake analyzes it as one continuous recording. The system detects structure, generates captions, identifies points for cuts, and creates titles based on the flow of a single timeline. All of OneTake’s editing features rely on this continuous timeline to work properly.

If multiple clips were added into one project, the platform would need to rebuild that timeline, manage transitions between separate files, and recalculate timestamps for captions, titles, and chapters. This capability is not part of the current version of OneTake.

What this means when working on your projects

• You cannot add a second or third video into the same project.

• You cannot stitch or merge video clips inside OneTake.

• All timestamps, titles, captions, and edits are tied to the original single-file timeline you uploaded.

What you can do if you need to work with multiple clips

If your final output requires several clips combined into one video, there are two practical workflows depending on what you need.

Workflow A: Edit each clip in OneTake, then combine them afterwards

This is best when you want OneTake’s editing on each clip individually.

Steps:

1. Upload each video as a separate project in OneTake.
2. Process each video normally: edit, adjust captions, titles, and export.
3. Download your finished videos.
4. Combine the exported files in any simple video-editing app (example: CapCut, iMovie, or any timeline-based editor).

This method lets you take advantage of OneTake’s editing while still creating a single final output.

Workflow B: Combine clips yourself first, then upload the merged file to OneTake

This is best when you want OneTake to analyze everything as one continuous video.

Steps:

1. Use any basic editor (CapCut, iMovie, etc.) to place the clips in order and export a single combined file.
2. Upload that combined file to OneTake.
3. OneTake will edit the video as one continuous session, producing captions, titles, and chapters aligned to the final merged timeline.

This gives you clean, consistent captions and titles across the full length of your video.

If clips are edited separately and then combined outside OneTake, titles and captions remain accurate because they were aligned inside each individual project.

• If clips are merged before uploading to OneTake, all AI-generated structure will follow the merged order exactly.

• OneTake does not provide a built-in tool to merge or re-order multiple uploads.

Will OneTake support multi-video uploads in the future?

This is a commonly requested capability. While it is not available today, it is something the team is evaluating for future improvements. At the moment, only single-file uploads are supported per project.
