Import a project from the old GRAPE ​

Move one project from the old GRAPE MARS into the new site, with its library, its videos and its annotations.

Before you start ​

  • Find the old project folder on your own computer. It holds a libraries folder and a data folder.
  • Each video sits in its own folder inside data. That folder holds a project.json file and an .mp4 file.
  • Import one project folder at a time. Do not pick a folder of folders.
  • Do not pick a zip file. Unzip it first.
  • Read What imports keep and what they lose before you start.

Steps ​

  1. Open the Projects page. GRAPE MARS lists your projects. With no projects yet, the page shows an Import Legacy card in place of the arrow menu below.
  2. Click the small arrow next to New Project. A short menu opens.
  3. Click Import Legacy Project. The window Import Legacy GRAPE MARS Project opens.
  4. Click Select GRAPE MARS Project Folder. Your computer asks you to pick a folder.
  5. Select the old project folder. Your browser asks you to allow the upload. Say yes.
  6. Wait for the preview. The window lists your library and your videos.
  7. Click any video you do not want. The tick goes away and the row turns grey.
  8. Click Import 3 Videos. The number matches the videos you ticked.
  9. Wait for the bar to fill. The text names each step, such as "Uploading video 1 of 3".

The progress has two parts. Files show a percentage. Saved annotations show a count, such as "Saving annotations for my-video… (30/140)".

Check it worked ​

The window says "Project imported successfully". Under it you read four rows: Annotation Types, Videos, Annotations and Transcript Segments. Click Start Annotating to open a video, or View Project to see the whole project.

The project takes the name of your folder.
