The AI review is requested at upload — either with the AI Analysis switch on that upload, or automatically when the workspace has Automatic AI review enabled. Everything after that happens on its own.
The order of events
- Upload. Your file goes up. This is most of what the progress bar is doing.
- Watchable. The moment the upload lands, the video plays. You can open it, comment with timecodes and share the link while the rest runs.
- Preparation. The video is measured and prepared for the review.
- Review. The AI goes through the video. The panel shows AI analyzing… while it runs.
- Done. The bar fills and the status becomes Analysis complete. The findings appear in the timeline.
For a typical delivery the report is ready in minutes, not hours. How long depends mostly on the length of the video.
Reading the status
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Processing video… | The file is being prepared |
| Analyzing with AI… | The AI is going through the video |
| Analysis complete | Report ready |
| Ready, bar not full | The video plays; there is still work finishing |
| Ready, bar full | The video is available, but the review did not finish |
| Analysis failed | The review stopped with an error |
Note: “Ready” is about the video, not the report. It is deliberate that a video becomes watchable and shareable before the review ends — nobody should wait on a technical check to send a cut to an editor.
While it runs
- Comments, versions and sharing all work normally.
- The findings appear when the review finishes; they arrive together, not one at a time.
- A new version is a new review. Uploading v2 does not re-run it on v1.
If it does not finish
A review that fails leaves the video usable — you lose the report, not the file. See The AI review didn’t finish for the causes and what to do.
