Smart Video turns a raw upload into a full lesson. While the video processes, the Assistant generates a transcript, splits it into chapters, writes student notes, and drafts a short quiz to confirm comprehension.

Upload

1

Open the lesson

Inside any course, click "Add lesson" → Video. Drag your file onto the dropzone, or paste a YouTube/Vimeo URL.

2

Wait for processing

A 30-minute video typically processes in 2–4 minutes. You can keep editing the rest of your course while it runs — Zanfia notifies you when the lesson is ready.

Supported formats

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM up to 5 GB per file on the Pro plan, 10 GB on Scale. Larger files? Drop us a line — we have a chunked-upload path.

Review what the Assistant produced

Open the lesson and you'll see four tabs alongside the video: Chapters, Transcript, Notes, and Quiz. Each one is a draft you can accept, edit, or regenerate. Most creators tweak the chapter titles, lightly edit the notes, and ship.

  • Chapters — auto-detected from topic shifts in the transcript.
  • Transcript — searchable, time-coded, available in 30+ languages.
  • Notes — a 5–8 bullet summary students can save for later.
  • Quiz — 3–5 multiple-choice questions to confirm key concepts landed.
