Asset Statuses
A reference guide to every status an asset can have in Nomad, from upload through to availability.
How Asset Processing Works
When you add a file to Nomad, it moves through three phases automatically:
- Upload — Your file is transferred to Nomad. Large files are sent in chunks and reassembled automatically.
- Processing — Nomad analyzes the content, extracting metadata, generating transcripts, creating proxies, and building search indexes.
- Available — Processing is complete. Your asset is ready to stream, download, search, and share.
You can track exactly where an asset is in this journey by checking its status.
