Camera to timeline, no cables: how direct Wi-Fi import works

The slowest part of most edits happens before the editor is even open: cards, readers, folder trees, renaming, proxies. We decided import was the first problem worth solving properly.

What “direct import” means

Connect a supported camera — most action cameras, many mirrorless bodies, or any rig with a Wi-Fi module — and vide0.ai becomes a destination. Stop recording, and the clip is already on its way into your project.

While it lands, three things happen in the background:

• Proxies are generated so the timeline stays responsive on any laptop.
• Transcription runs so the transcript editor is ready by the time you sit down.
• Metadata (camera, lens, frame rate, GPS where available) is indexed so bins organize themselves.

The wireless workflow on set

1. Pair the camera once. It’s remembered per project.
2. Shoot. Clips appear in the Incoming bin as they finish.
3. Mark selects from your phone or laptop while the shoot is still going.
4. By wrap, the agent already has enough context to propose a first cut.

For multi-camera shoots, clips from every paired camera are synced by timecode or audio waveform automatically.

Wired, cards and drag-and-drop still work

Not every camera has Wi-Fi, and not every shoot has a network. USB, card readers and plain drag-and-drop go through the same pipeline: proxies, transcription, metadata. The only difference is when it starts.

Supported today

We’re expanding the list every release. If yours isn’t supported yet, mention it in the early-access form — camera requests are one of the main ways we prioritize integrations.
