Transfer media from a phone to elevate.io with mobile upload

If you shoot content on your phone and edit on your computer, transferring files across devices can be painful, especially when you're going from iPhone to PC or Android to Mac.

elevate.io’s mobile upload experience allows you to seamlessly send your phone’s footage straight into your elevate.io video project - all from your smartphone browser.

Step 1: Open elevate.io in your mobile browser

Start by heading to elevate.io on your phone’s browser, and log in to your account.

You’ll land in the Media tab, where all your uploaded files live.

Step 2: Tap ‘Upload media’

At the bottom of your screen, tap the blue "Upload media" button to get started.

Step 3: Upload to a Team or Project

You’ll be asked if you want to upload your files to your Team media library - which makes them accessible across all projects - or directly into a specific video project.

To upload to the Team library, just select “Team” and tap "Next".

To upload to a project, select “Project” and tap "Next". Then, you can either create a new project or select an existing one. The new project will instantly sync and appear in your project library.

Tip: If you are part of multiple teams, you can switch between them by tapping “Change team” at the bottom of the Team / Project page. Just select the team you want, then close the window and tap "Next" to continue.

Step 4: Add media

Now that you’ve chosen the location of your files, select the ‘Add media’ button and choose whether you’d like to get your assets from your camera roll, files, or even shoot something on the spot!

Make your selection and wait for it to upload.

Step 5: Edit

Now, head to elevate.io on your computer and open the Team media library or the project where you uploaded your files to.

And that’s it! Now you can skip the hassle and get straight into video editing.
