# Uploading external footage

> Import external presenter footage and align it with your timeline and script.

## Overview

Use this workflow when camera content is recorded outside Hypersphere.

Your goal is to import cleanly, align timing, and keep audio/video consistent.

## Before you start

* Confirm file format, duration, and quality are suitable for your project.
* Decide which scene each footage segment belongs to.
* If audio is embedded, plan whether to keep it or replace it.

## Steps

1. Upload external footage and wait for processing readiness.
2. Insert footage into the correct scene/track.
3. Trim and align footage to script timing.
4. Resolve audio strategy (keep embedded audio or use project narration).
5. Run full-scene preview for sync and framing.

## Check your result

* External footage appears at the correct scene moments.
* Audio strategy is consistent across the project.
* Framing and pacing match adjacent clips.

## Troubleshooting

### Footage looks stretched or cropped

Adjust fit/fill and verify aspect ratio alignment before further edits.

### Audio is out of sync

Align clip start offsets first, then fine-tune trims.

### Footage does not appear in insert list

Wait for processing to finish and refresh the media state.
