YuJa (All Users) - Bulk Download Media Files

This article gives instructions on how to bulk download media files in YuJa.

Bulk download works best when all the files are located in one folder especially if the media are located in multiple folders. Once the media has been moved and downloaded, move the media back to its original folder.

Create a Folder in YuJa

 

Folders are recommended to organize your Media Library. Create a folder for each class to organize your class videos. Create separate folders for other content such as Committee Meeting Audio, Professional Development videos, etc.

Create a Folder

  1. Log into YuJa at https://siue.yuja.com with your SIUE credentials. 

  2. From the toolbar at the top of the page, click on Create and select New Folder from the drop-down menu.

  3. Name the folder. We strongly recommend that the folder be labeled with the class or topic, such as BIOL 111 or Committee Recordings. Click Save to continue.

     When you create a new folder, a pop-up window with a text box to enter a descriptive name appears. There are cancel and submit buttons below.

  4. If there are multiple topics within the course, create sub-folders by double-clicking on the folder icon in your media library and repeating steps 2 & 3.

    • Single files: select to download the audio and video together as one file (recommended).
    • Separate files: select to isolate the audio and video as separate files.
    • Single ZIP file: to download one ZIP file that contains all media. 
    • Separate links: select to download a link for each selected item.
  6. Burn-in Captions refer to "open captions", which are permanently displayed on the media. Users will not be able to turn off the captions. This option is only appropriate for marketing and display purposes, not as a replacement for accessible captions. Closed captions are required to meet WCAG 2.1 AA digital accessibility guidelines. For more information about captions and accessibility requirements, please review this self-paced YuJa - Accessibility training. 
    Select your Burn-In caption options:
    • RECOMMENDED: Accept the default as None if you do not want open captions permanently displayed on the media image. 
    • Select English from the drop-down menu if you want captions permanently added to the media image (open captions). 
    • If the media does not already have closed captions, the only option for burn-in captions is None.
  7. Click Download Media to continue.
  8. The Download Request box will open. Click Close to close the window.
  9. The request will be processed, and in a few minutes (sometimes longer depending on the number and size of your videos). Check your SIUE email account for an email with links or files with your requested media. 
    NOTE: Quizzes and comments will not be downloaded with your video.
