Features are provided for the asynchronous transmission of media files that are part of, or otherwise associated with, user-created content posts. The media file transmissions are asynchronous in nature because the media files are transmitted in parallel background processes while users continue creating content posts or performing other computing tasks. The client devices on which the media file transmissions are initiated can manage the establishment of connections to a network-accessible content management system, and also manage the continued transmission of the media files to the content management system while the users perform other tasks using the client devices.

An example method includes causing playback of a video, receiving a first input during playback of the video, and receiving a second input during playback of the video. In such methods, the second input is separate from the first input. The method also includes determining a length of time extending from the end of the first input to the beginning of the second input. The method further includes generating a digital content item including at least a video file corresponding to the video, and a sequential data list. The sequential data list includes a duration of the first input followed by a duration of the second input. The sequential data list also includes the length of time listed between the duration of the first input and the duration of the second input.
