By default, you can download any recording on BigMarker to use for your own purposes. However, if you want to have more freedom in using the audio, presentation, and separate camera feeds in your produced content, you can also download a zip file of individual components of the recorded session.

What is available to download

From any session you're able to download a number of different files from the recording or processed on-demand video. Depending on your needs you'll want to choose one of these over the others:

  • Transcript Download - A written text version of everything spoken. Great for reading, repurposing, accessibility, and search. Note that this is specifically for what people said into their microphones during the live session.

  • Closed Caption Download - The time-stamped on-screen subtitles (multiple languages available). Syncs to the video , unlike a plain transcript.

  • Full Video Download - The finished, combined recording — presenter video, slides, and audio merged into one ready-to-watch file, exactly as viewers experienced it or as you edited it.

  • Component Files Download - A packaged bundle of the individual pieces that make up the final produced recording — the separate visual and audio elements that were assembled together to create the polished video.

    • Think of these as the edited layers of the finished product — the parts as the platform arranged them for playback.

    • Best for: re-editing or rearranging the finished elements without starting completely from scratch.

  • Raw Files Download - The original, unprocessed source recordings straight from the session — captured before any assembly or production happened.

    • Think of these as the untouched footage as it was first recorded.

    • Best for: full control when you want to rebuild the recording yourself from the ground up.

The key distinction between Components vs. Raw files:

  • Component Files = the building blocks of the finished video (already processed/assembled pieces).

  • Raw Files = the original untouched source material (before any processing).

  • Both download as a bundle of separate parts — that's why they're easy to mix up — but components are "produced pieces," while raw is "original ingredients."

How to download recording components

For any live session that's recorded, you have the ability to download the individual components of the recording. This will include these as separate files:

  • Audio file of the presenter microphones
  • Video, presentation and screenshare content, both with and without audio
  • Presenter cameras with audio (all presenter cameras will be in one video)

To get a zip file with these components, click on components within the video actions button.

Downloading Raw Files from Your Session

If you want even finer control over your recorded content, BigMarker also allows users to download the raw files from the session. Instead of the components which combine the presenter cameras into one video, raw files will keep every individual presenter camera and microphone separate as it's own file.

Note: This feature is exclusive to our Enterprise and Events Package plan holders.  Contact sales@bigmarker.com or you BigMarker point of contact for more information.

How to Download the Raw Files of Your Event

We highly recommend retrieving the raw files from your live event that was recorded on BigMarker  in the first 10 days after it’s been recorded. Depending on the size of your session, it can take 10-20 minutes to download your file. But if you wait more than 10 days to retrieve your file, this process can take substantially much more time. 

In the Session Admin of an on-demand session, visit the Dashboard and click on Raw Files. When you first click this button it will start processing the raw files. This processing may take up to a few hours depending on the length of your session as well as the number of presenter cameras that were turned on during the session.

Once it's done processing you'll be able to download it with a single click

This zip file will contain the recording components that will include the different presenter cameras.

In the webinar dashboard and under the Manage Recording section of the Dashboard, you will see the Download Raw Components option.
