Uploading videos and using the Library to manage videos
Learn how to use the ReelFlow Library to upload, manage, preview, and organize videos for your Flows.
Uploading videos
There are two ways to upload your videos to ReelFlow:
- From the Flow Builder - when you have a single file to place in a Flow
- Using the Library - when you want to upload one or more files at once
Here is some guidance to prepare your files to upload:
- Uploaded videos should be in a landscape, 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Trim your videos to length before you upload them. If you are using a Mac, you can use Quicktime to do this. On Windows, you can use the Photos app. Or you can use a online video editing service like VEED.
- We recommend you upload video files already in .mp4 file format. Learn more about the recommended video export settings.
- The per-video upload file size limit is 100Mb.
- Captions are generated automatically. Learn about setting the caption transcription or translation language.
- For more detailed guidance on filming and producing the most suitable video footage for ReelFlow, see Tips for recording, composition & positioning human subjects in ReelFlow videos.

Editing video reels in the Library
We recommend you edit your videos before you upload them, however some adjustments after upload are possible:
Deleting video reels from the Library
You can delete video reels from your Library to free up storage and keep your Workspace tidy.
To delete a video reel, open the dropdown menu from the row in the ↗️ Library and select Delete.
- A video reel can only be deleted if it isn't used in any published Flows
- If a video reel is used in unpublished Flows, deleting it will remove it from those Flows
- Once deleted, the video reel will no longer appear in your Library or inside any Flow or contribute to your plan usage.
Restoring deleted video reels
- You can view all recently deleted video reels from your Workspace using the dropdown filter in the Library.
- Deleted videos are permanently erased after 14 days and cannot be recovered afterwards.
