When uploading files, we recommend uploading each of your source files as individual recordings in Reduct.

the most common way to achieve this is to create a new recording for each file you wish to upload. This will create a new recording object that you can access using the sidebar on the left of your screen (when it's on the "Recordings" tab).

If you have many files to upload at once, you can use the batch file upload functionality. Instead of clicking "New recording", click on the three vertical dots next to the recording, and click "Batch file upload."

In some cases, however, it makes sense to upload multiple files into one recording.

For example, your camera or audio recording device may create several files ("Tara_01", "Tara_02", "Tara_03", etc) for a single session or interview. In that case, you can combine multiple files into one Recording in Reduct.

After you create a new recording and click "Upload files," you can simply select all of the files that should be combined into one recording, or drag-and-drop all the files into reduct in one go. You can also click on the the "Add additional video or audio files for this recording" button to select files one by one instead of selecting them all at once, letting you control the sequence they are added in more reliably. Note that they cannot be rearranged once added.

If you are looking to upload non-audiovisual files to a recording, you can upload them as attachments.
