Upload and organize your media

Beginner4 min readUpdated May 2026

Video, photos and audio all live in the project's file system. Upload a file once and it is available to every tool that needs it. This guide covers getting media in and keeping it organized.

1

Upload your files

Drag files into the project, or use the upload button. Curtyn handles video, stills and audio, and keeps uploading in the background while you carry on working.

2

Understand the central file system

A file belongs to the project, not to one tool. The same clip can appear in a review thread, a shotlist and a delivery package while still being a single file in a single place.

Why this matters

Because there is one copy, there is one truth. Replace a file and every tool that uses it shows the new one. Nothing goes stale in a corner.

3

Organize with folders

Group files into folders that match how you think about the shoot, by day, by scene, by department. A tidy structure now is what makes a file findable under pressure later.

4

Find a file fast

Search by name, or filter by type to narrow to just video, just stills or just audio. On a project with hundreds of files, this is how you get to the right one in seconds.

5

Keep storage tidy

Remove files you no longer need to keep the project light and within your storage. Deleted files move to the project's trash first, so a mistake is recoverable rather than final.
