Uploading Videos

Tutorial AI handles two distinct kinds of video upload:

• Screen recordings — the main footage a project is built around. Uploaded when you already have a recording file (from an OS-native recorder, a phone, or another tool) and want Tutorial AI to analyze it and build a project.
• Decorative videos — short animations, intro clips, or B-roll placed onto slides. Uploaded into the Asset Library so they’re reusable across projects.

Uploading a screen recording

Open the Screen Recordings section from the sidebar, then click the Upload screen recording button in the top-right of the header.

A modal opens with two file-type options: Desktop Recording (computer screen capture) or Mobile Recording (iOS or Android device).

Desktop recordings

When you import a desktop recording, Tutorial AI runs three automatic passes on the file:

• AI analysis — every click, scroll, and screen transition is detected and turned into a Sync Marker
• Click detection — interaction spots are identified so post-recording effects (zooms, cursor emphasis) have targets to lock onto
• Narration suggestions — if the recording has narration audio, the script is transcribed from it; if it’s silent, the script is drafted from the visual content

Processing can take a few minutes for longer videos. You can leave the tab open or close it — Tutorial AI emails you when the project is ready.

Tip

If the recording has sound you don’t want transcribed, strip it first with the free Remove Audio tool. It runs entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

Mobile recordings

Select Mobile Recording, then pick the platform — Android or iOS. Any .mp4 or .mov captured with a device’s built-in screen recorder is accepted.

Tip

On a Mac, you can also capture iPhone or iPad screens directly by connecting the device via cable and using QuickTime, then upload the resulting .mov here. For a fully in-Tutorial-AI iOS/iPadOS capture flow, see Mobile Recording.

Note

Mobile recordings don’t visually capture tap gestures by default. Mark them after upload with the Tap Marker tool — see Mobile Recording.

Uploading videos to the Asset Library

Decorative videos don’t belong in the Screen Recordings tab — they live in the Asset Library and can be dropped onto any slide. Examples: an animated rocket background, a looped product shot, a personal intro clip recorded on a phone.

There are two ways to upload one:

• From the dashboard’s left navigation, open Asset Library → Upload media
• While editing a slide, click the video button in the top toolbar → Upload media

Uploaded videos become available across all your projects and can be placed onto any slide. See Slides for how to position video content on a slide.
