Creating a project

Last updated on March 24, 2026

A project in CaptionHub is defined as the set of captions and subtitles associated with a single video.

As a Superuser, you can create new projects. Producers can also create projects if they have been granted permission in Team Settings.

Projects can be created in several ways:

  1. From local media
  1. From a URL
  1. Via one of our connectors
  1. From a live video stream

1. To create a project from a file on your computer

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard or Projects section.
  1. Click the New project from… button in the top right corner.
      2. Notion image
  1. Select Local file(s) or media URL.
      2. Notion image
  1. Enter a project name, then drag and drop your file(s) or click the Movie file section.
      2. Notion image
  1. Select the file from your computer.
  1. Click Create project to start the upload.
      2. Notion image

2. To create a project from a URL

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard or Projects section.
  1. Click the New project from… button in the top right corner.
  1. Select Local file(s) or media URL.
  1. Enter a project name and paste the URL where your media file is hosted.
      2. Notion image
  1. Click Create project to start the upload.

Note: This functionality only works with a direct link to the media (for example, an S3 bucket or a Dropbox link). CaptionHub cannot scrape webpages for video content, so links from platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo will not work.

CaptionHub can also import media files from Google Drive (current file limit: 150MB). To do this:

  1. In Google Drive, navigate to the video file you want to import.
  1. Ensure the sharing settings are set to Anyone with the link can view (see more information here).
  1. Right-click the file and select Get link to copy it to your clipboard.
  1. In CaptionHub, paste the link into the video URL field.
  1. Click Create project to start the upload.

3. To create a project via a connector

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard or Projects section.
  1. Click the New project from… button in the top right corner.
  1. Select the integration you want to use. Only enabled integrations will be available.
      2. Notion image
  1. Choose a video file and click Import to CaptionHub.
      2. Notion image
  1. The video will be automatically imported, and a project will be created.

Note: If you have Dynamic Ingest enabled, your project will be ingested automatically from the video platform.
