Copy the Wistia media URL (wistia.com/medias/<id>) or the fast.wistia.com embed link and paste it into Castmagic. We resolve the URL to the underlying MP4 file automatically — no Wistia admin account or login required for public videos.

Yes. Paid Castmagic plans support batch URL imports — paste a list of Wistia links and the platform processes them in parallel, returning transcripts and content drafts in one workflow.
