# Uploading Existing Videos into OneTake

You can upload any existing video you have and use it directly inside OneTake. Whether your footage is stored on your computer, phone, or a connected cloud service, OneTake allows you to bring that video into a new project and begin editing immediately.
## Ways you can upload your video

When you start a new project, OneTake presents multiple import options. You can choose whichever is most convenient for where your video is stored:
* **My Device** – Upload a video file from your computer or mobile device
* **Camera** – Record a new video using your device’s camera
* **Audio** – Upload an audio-only file
* **Screencast** – Record your screen through OneTake
* **Google Drive** – Import a file stored in your Drive
* **Google Photos** – Import from your Google Photos library
* **Link** – Import through a supported video link
* **YouTube** – Import any YouTube video you have access to
* **Dropbox** – Import from your Dropbox storage
* **Zoom** – Import a Zoom recording
Any uploaded or imported file automatically becomes a new project.
## Supported formats and resolution

OneTake accepts standard video formats that are commonly produced by phones and cameras, including:
* MP4
* MOV
* AVI
* WMV
The system processes videos in **HD resolution**.
4K and HDR videos are not supported.
## What happens after your video is uploaded

Once the file is imported, OneTake begins preparing it for editing. Depending on the settings you have enabled, the system may:
* Improve audio
* Generate subtitles
* Remove filler words
* Trim silences
* Apply your saved instructions
* Apply your custom vocabulary
* Apply the virtual cameraman
You do not need to run these steps manually; they apply automatically based on your preferences.
## Tools available after processing

When the upload and preparation are complete, OneTake shows a **Later** section that includes optional tools you can use at any time:
* **Shorts Suggestions** – OneTake analyzes your video and highlights moments that can be turned into short-form clips
* **Video Translation** – Translate your video into other languages, depending on your plan
These tools remain available throughout your project, even after you make further edits.
