2
Create a project
Create a new project in your workspace. Projects are how you organize work - one per production, campaign, or client. Inside a project you can add folders to keep things tidy, just like on your computer.
3
Upload files
Drag and drop files, or entire folders, straight into your project. Videos, images, audio, and documents all work. You can keep browsing while uploads run in the background.See the uploading guide for more ways to get files in.

Let the AI do its work
As soon as a file lands, Aspect’s AI starts processing it: transcribing speech, understanding what’s on screen, recognizing people, and reading metadata. You can watch progress directly on each asset.Indexing usually takes a few minutes, depending on file size. Learn more in the AI indexing guide.
5
Search in plain English
Once files are indexed, describe what you’re looking for the way you’d describe it to a person - “interview clips where someone mentions the budget” or “wide shots of the beach at sunset.” Aspect finds the matching moments, not just matching filenames.The search guide covers filters and more advanced searches.

Open a file in the viewer
Click any asset to open it. For videos, you can play the footage, jump to any moment, and follow along with the transcript. See the viewer and review guide for everything you can do here.
7
Leave a comment
Add a comment right in the viewer to give feedback or flag a moment for your team. Comments keep the conversation attached to the footage it’s about.
8
Share it
Create a share link to send the file to someone outside your workspace - a client, a reviewer, anyone. They can view it without an account. The sharing guide explains your options.
