Upload Times

/in , /by

When uploading videos, the file size and network speed determine how fast your upload will be.

To get a general idea of how long your video will take to upload, use an uploading calculator and type in the size of your file and find the speed of your internet in the list.

To find out the speed of your internet, you can use a speed test to find the exact number.

One way to increase your uploading speed is to compress your files to be smaller or to record your videos with a lower resolution. There are a lot of third party softwares that compresses videos.

If you are able to use the Behavior Capture app then this also compresses videos on iPhones and iPads.

Once your videos are “encoding” they are in the system and it will begin making them web ready.
You can log out at this point if you wish and wait for the system to email you when it is available.

The Encoding Process

/in /by

After a file is uploaded, the word “encoding” will appear next to it.

All  files uploaded to the system go through the process of encoding. This process is when the file is being converted to a specific file extension, such as PDF, JPG, and WMV. The length of the video or the size of the file will be the deciding factor in how long the encoding process will take.

This process must be done in order for files to be viewed and played on the system.
