If you'll be uploading a large amount of videos (50 ore more), we have a few different methods available to ease that process.
Overview of the process
- Decide on a delivery method
- Start uploading videos
- Prepare metadata, including a reference to the filename
- Send the metadata to OZ, and we will import it to your channel
- Once upload is complete, let us know and we make sure that videos will be linked to the metadata
Delivery methods
Bulk upload using our web interface
Once you have logged in to OZ Creator and navigated to the Video page, click the Import multiple videos button. There, you can drop multiple files at once from your computer, and . Once each upload is completed, it will be saved to your channel. If you close this page, all incomplete uploads will be aborted, and you will have to start those uploads again.
Direct upload to Amazon S3 storage
Today, uploading to S3 is quite easy! Reach out to us and we will set up a S3 bucket for you, and provide you with all the info you need to upload your videos.
You have your own S3 bucket already?
Share it with support@oz.com, and we will be able to pull the videos you refer to automatically.
New to S3?
Drop us a note and we will set one up for you, get you access to it, and you can start uploading.

Direct upload via FTP
If you prefer using the very simple FTP method, we can also hook you up with an account where you can upload your videos. Just drop us a note.
Hard drive shipments
When we're dealing with larger quantities and where upload bandwidth is limited, you could also ship a hard drive to our hosting partner, who would get the content to a file storage that OZ can access, wipe the hard drive and ship it back to you - but that's only feasible when we're talking about a few hundred GB of data. Contact us so we can prepare everything for you.
