Video encoding

Updated over 2 months ago

All videos uploaded to our service are compressed and optimized for delivery over the Internet. We use the following settings:

Four copies created

We create 4 copies of each video and stream the appropriate copy based on the user's Internet connection speed. This is done automatically, but can be manually overridden by the viewer in the video player:

4k

Yes, 4k, AKA 2160p automatically created and streamed if your original video was 4k.
