Before uploading: Best practices
1
Prepare your video file
- Format: MP4 (H.264 codec recommended)
- Size: Under 500MB
- Resolution: 1080p or lower for faster processing
- Frame rate: 24, 30, or 60 fps
2
Name your file clearly
Use descriptive names before uploading (e.g., “squat-form-tutorial.mp4” instead of “video123.mp4”). This makes it easier to organize in your Media Hub.
3
Test your connection
For large files, ensure you have a stable internet connection before starting the upload.
