Adding videos to the Media Overview of your TradeCast-powered video platform is done in no time at all. Before you start uploading files from your computer to your video platform's CMS, it pays to know which file types and video codecs are supported by the TradeCast platform. In this article we list all the video file types and codecs supported by your TradeCast-powered CMS.
To upload a new video - and thus add it to the Media Overview of the CMS of your own video platform - navigate to your video platform's CMS and click on:
- Media
- Overview
Supported file types
In the 'Add' screen of the CMS of your video platform, you can see a list of supported file types under the heading 'Produced content'. The following file types are supported by the TradeCast CMS:
- *.mp4
- *.mov
- *.mpg
- *.webm
With the 'Upload' button, you can easily add a new video (or multiple videos at the same time, from the 'Media Overview' screen) in one of the file types mentioned above.
Apple ProRes
The TradeCast platform supports many different types of modern video codecs, with the important exception of the Apple-specific codec 'Apple ProRes'. Therefore, when exporting new videos for your video platform, make sure you choose a codec that is suitable for as many different platforms and users as possible.
