Single video files can be added to a layout. Please keep in mind that some player models will only support one video file per layout at a time. It is not recommended that you add multiple video files to a layout. However, multiple video files can be added to a playlist which could then be added to a layout.
We recommend video files have a maximum resolution of 1920×1080 or 1080×1920 for best playback on media players.
Supported Video File Types:
- MP4 – We recommend encoding files to MP4 format for best playback. Please see Encoding Video Files to MP4 with HandBrake Open Source Video Transcoder to MP4 for recommendations on encoding videos to MP4 as H.264.
- WEBM – Files with alpha channels are only supported on LG webOS and Windows devices.
Videos over 50 MB or WMV, MOV, AVI files will be automatically re-encoded to improve performance and to ensure they are in the correct format. Once processing is complete you will receive an email and the asset can be used.
