Uploading an Audio Clip

TIP: You can start the upload process from any screen in Pangea CMS. For example, you can upload a file from the Article edit screen, then continue writing the article while the file uploads in the background.

What's inside this article:



Upload a single audio file

  1. Click New > Multimedia > Audio Clip in the top menu.
  2. Select the file you want to upload using either method below:
    • Click the file that you want to upload and drag and drop it into the box.
    • Click Browse files and navigate to the location on your device where the file is saved. Double-click the file.

The Upload audio dialog changes to Audio edit as soon as the upload starts. You can immediately start editing the Audio Clip while the upload is in progress. Alternatively, click Close to close the edit screen and let the upload complete in the background. This article explains how to find the Audio Clip later.




Upload multiple audio files

  1. Click New > Multimedia > Audio Clip in the top menu.
  2. Select the files you want to upload using either method below:
    • Ensure all the files you want to upload are selected, and drag and drop the files into the box.
    • Click Browse files and navigate to the location on your device where the files are saved. Select all the files you want to upload and click Open.
NOTE: Pangea CMS can upload up to two audio files simultaneously. You can select more than two audio files for upload, but the third file will not start uploading until one of the first two files is fully uploaded.

The Upload audio dialog disappears and the Upload manager appears in the top-right corner of Pangea CMS. You can immediately start editing an Audio Clip while the upload is in progress. Hover your cursor over the relevant panel and click Edit (the pencil icon).

Alternatively, click elsewhere on the screen to minimize the Upload manager and let the uploads complete in the background. This article explains how to find an Audio Clip later.




Find an Audio Clip

NOTE: After it is fully uploaded and processed, an Audio Clip is automatically saved in Pangea CMS with the status Draft. The title matches the name of the audio file.

The following options are available for finding an Audio Clip that was already uploaded to Pangea CMS:



Upload manager

Click the Upload manager icon in the top-right corner of Pangea CMS. Hover your cursor over the relevant panel and click Edit (the pencil icon).

The Upload manager in Pangea CMS is not always available. The following rules apply:

  • The Upload manager icon is visible for 10 minutes after the last file finishes uploading. After this time, the Upload manager icon disappears.
  • If you close and then reopen Pangea CMS, the Upload manager icon disappears.

If the Upload manager icon is not visible, you can use a different method to find and edit the uploaded files.



Notification

After an Audio Clip is fully uploaded and processed, you may receive a notification within Pangea CMS and / or an email notification. Click the Pangea link to start editing the Audio Clip.


NOTE: To learn how to change your preferences for Pangea notifications about uploaded files, refer to the following article:


Pangea CMS Search tool

You can find a previously uploaded Audio Clip using the Pangea CMS Search tool. For instructions, refer to the following article:




Complete required settings

NOTE: The steps below describe how to complete the required settings only, then save and publish the Audio Clip. For information about the optional settings, refer to the alternative article below:

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Audio Clip edit screen and click General in the left panel.
  2. In the Title box, enter a title for the Audio Clip.
  3. Use the Categories drop-down menu to assign the Audio Clip to one or more Categories.
  4. If you want the Audio Clip to be available on the public website immediately after you save it, use the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to set the status to Published.
  5. Click Save or Save & close to confirm and apply your preferences.

The Audio Clip is now created. If the status is Published, the Audio Clip is also available on the public website.

If you need to edit the Audio Clip later, you can find it using the Pangea CMS Search tool.




Check upload progress

You can check the upload progress on the Audio Clip edit screen. Click Audio in the left panel.

You see one of the following options in the Preview window:

  • Uploading: The file is currently uploading. You see the progress of the upload.
  • Processing: The file is uploaded, and Pangea CMS is currently encoding it. During encoding, multiple versions of the file are created. These files allow the Audio Clip to be played and downloaded in different levels of quality.
  • Playback options: When the file is fully uploaded and processed, the Preview window lets you play the Audio Clip.
