About Imported Video and Audio Projects

The Imported Video and Audio project allows you to import media files into Qualtrics to analyze recorded responses in the video editor. When analyzing your imported responses, you can review the response’s sentiment, assign tags based on the response content, and organize responses into highlight reels.

Imported Video and Audio projects are particularly useful for:

  • Reviewing longer recordings for qualitative feedback
  • Analyzing in-depth interviews
  • Presenting highlighted focus group data
Attention: Every minute of uploaded video/audio will count as one response towards your license’s interactions limit. See the Interaction Usage report to monitor your license’s usage. Contact your account team with questions about your license’s limit.
