All videos uploaded to our service are compressed and optimized for delivery over the Internet. We use the following settings:
Four copies created
We automatically create multiple copies of each video and stream the appropriate copy based on the user's Internet connection speed. This includes a 4K (2160p) version if the original video was in 4K. The player streams the appropriate quality video based on the viewer's screen and internet speed, but can be manually overridden by the viewer in the video player:
Encoding
The following chart contains our compression settings:
Quality | Pixels | Bitrate (kbps) |
4K UHD (Ultra HD) | 3840 x 2160 ("2160p") | Max 18,000 |
Full HD | 1920x1080 ("1080p") | Max: 9,000 |
HD | 1280x720 ("720p") | Max: 5,000 |
What quality should I upload?
You should upload the highest quality copy of the video that you have on file. Our system will then compress the videos using the optimum settings. You do not need to worry about the file type or codec since our system will re-encode your videos anyway.
