Why project folders matter

When you download a YouTube video with SesMate, the system doesn’t just save a loose file.
Instead, it creates a project directory where all related files are kept together.
This makes it easier to track your workflow, revisit past work, and avoid losing important data.

Benefits

• Keep video, audio, transcripts, and translations in one place.
• Return to any project at any time without re-uploading.
• Export your complete project for use on other platforms.

Organize downloads, STT, translation, and TTS

Each project folder contains subfolders for every step: - Downloads — video/audio files you pulled from YouTube.
- Speech-to-Text (STT) — transcripts and SRT subtitles generated from your media.
- Translation — multilingual versions of your transcripts.
- Text-to-Speech (TTS) — voice overs generated in different languages.

All outputs are downloadable so you can edit them offline or integrate into external tools.

Automatic file selection in workflows

When you open the STT module for a given project, SesMate auto-loads available video/audio files.
No need to upload them again — just pick and start transcribing.
The same applies to translation and TTS: - Translation module shows all transcripts inside that project.
- TTS module lets you select any translated file and generate multi-speaker voice overs.

This automation reduces friction and lets you focus on creativity.

Reuse and combine files across modules

A single transcript can lead to multiple translations.
Each translation can then be used for different TTS voice overs.
Everything remains linked under the same project folder, so you never lose track.

Example workflow

1. Download a YouTube video.
2. Generate an English transcript with STT.
3. Create Spanish and French translations.
4. Produce Spanish and French TTS voice overs.
5. Export the whole set — video, subtitles, and audio tracks — from the same folder.
