Step-by-Step Instructions

Access the Batch Processing Interface

Log into your Pimosa dashboard and click on the Batch Processing tab in the main navigation menu. Then select New Batch Job to start creating your batch processing task.

Batch processing is available for Pro and Enterprise plans only

Upload Multiple Videos

Click the Upload Videos button and select multiple files by holding Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) while clicking. You can also drag and drop entire folders directly into the upload area. Pimosa supports up to 100 videos per batch job.

Organize your videos in folders beforehand to maintain structure in your output

Configure Output Settings

In the Processing Settings panel, choose your desired output format from the dropdown menu. Set the Resolution, Bitrate, and Codec options that will be applied to all videos in the batch. Enable Smart Optimization to automatically adjust settings based on each video's characteristics.

Use preset templates to quickly apply common settings combinations

Set File Naming Convention

Under Output Options, configure how your processed files will be named. Use variables like {original_name}, {timestamp}, or {batch_id} to create consistent naming patterns. Preview the naming convention with the Preview Names button.

Choose Output Destination

Select where your processed videos will be saved by clicking Output Destination. Choose between Pimosa Cloud Storage, Download to Local, or integrate with services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or AWS S3.

Cloud storage destinations can handle large batch jobs more efficiently

Review and Start Processing

Review all your settings in the Job Summary section. Check the estimated processing time and credit cost displayed at the bottom. When ready, click Start Batch Processing to begin. You'll receive an email notification when the job completes.

Large batches can be paused and resumed if needed

Monitor Progress and Download Results

Track your batch job progress in the Processing Queue tab. Once complete, access your processed videos through the Completed Jobs section. Use the Bulk Download feature to download all files at once, or download individual videos as needed.

Completed batch jobs remain accessible for 30 days before automatic cleanup

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Some videos fail to upload or process

Check that all video files are in supported formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV). Files over 5GB may need to be compressed first. Verify you have sufficient processing credits in your account.

Batch processing is taking longer than expected

Processing time depends on video length, resolution, and current server load. Complex effects or high-resolution outputs increase processing time. Check the System Status page for any service delays.

Output quality is inconsistent across videos

Disable Smart Optimization and use fixed settings for consistent results. Ensure all input videos have similar characteristics, or create separate batches for different video types.

Cannot download processed videos

Check your internet connection and browser download settings. Large batch downloads may timeout - try downloading in smaller groups or individual files. Clear browser cache if downloads fail repeatedly.
