You need to create a channel before uploading any videos. You can read the document on how to create a channel to learn more. If you have already created your channel, go to the Media section of your user panel and click on Videos.

The channel to which the video is uploaded is visible at the top of the page. If you want to upload your video to another channel, select it from the list.

You can create and edit channels here as well.

2nd Step: Upload Video​

Click on the Upload File option on the Videos page of your account.

Choose your preferred method of upload.

Method 1: Direct Upload of the File​

Browse and select your file from your local storage. You can also drag & drop it to upload it easier. The supported formats are m4v, mov, and mp4. Make sure to convert your videos to one of these formats before uploading them.

Method 2: Upload through URL​

If the file is uploaded elsewhere and publicly accessible, you can use the URL to upload it.

Enter the URL and confirm to begin uploading.

Please note that the supported formats are m4v, mov, and mp4.

3rd Step: Final Configurations​

You will see a new window that shows the upload’s progress. Here, you can do the final configurations and fill in the title and description of the files.

Output Mode​

You can select the Automatic option so that your videos are loaded with three different qualities. Selecting the Profile option will open a new section from which you can choose the other created profiles in your account. To learn more about profiles and how to make them, read the Profile section of the documents.

If you choose the manual option, you can manually enter the preferred output for resolution, sound, and image bitrates.

Watermark​

You can activate this option to have your watermark shown on your videos. To learn more about how to use watermarks and their configurations, read the document on Watermark. You can also determine where the watermark will be displayed on the video. If your profile has the watermark option activated, it will be added to your videos automatically.

Subtitles​

You can activate this option to load subtitles of different languages for your videos during their playback.

Please note that the subtitle must be in srt format. You can edit your subtitles after uploading as well.

Parallel Convert​

Activating this feature will increase the video output’s loading speed. Please note that activating this feature will add an extra charge to your account.

Once you are done, save the changes. The video’s access links will be available after the conversion time.
