You have the option of uploading of an introductory video and attaching it to any of your playlists. Introductory videos are hosted and converted to optimal streaming formats by Infobase automatically, for free. Only ONE introductory video may be uploaded per playlist.
See here for a how-to video on this process.
Using a video you recorded on your phone or tablet?
For the best results, we recommend orienting your phone in the horizontal position, as shown below. Leaving your device in the vertical position (especially on iPhones) will result in an extremely distorted video.
Correct Phone Orientation
Uploading Your Video
To edit playlists, you must be logged into your user account in the Infobase system. Log in at the upper right of the platform, under "My Profile." If you are logged in, you will see "Hi, Name!" in this area. The playlists are found under "My Content" in this area.
Next to each playlist in "My Content," you will see a drop-down "Actions" menu. Click edit in the drop-down menu to access the Playlist Editing page.
On the Playlist editing screen, click "Upload Intro Video (optional)"
Click the button with the upward-facing arrow that appears, and browse for the video on your computer. The file must be in MP4, FLV, WMV, or MOV formats. The maximum file size is 100 MB.
When a file is selected, the button will change to a yellow, processing button. This button will remain while the video is uploading to our CDN for processing. It usually takes a few minutes, depending on file size. Once the upload and conversion process is complete, the yellow button will change to a green, Upload Complete message.
Below the file upload section are text boxes to enter a custom video title and description. The title will be pre-populated for you with default text. The description is optional. Once you have finished adding your intro video and descriptive text, click the Save Changes button at the top of this page to save your intro video.
Your playlist will remain in editing mode after it has been saved and the intro video will automatically appear as the first item in your playlist sequence, in green, as shown below.
You may use your mouse to move this intro video up or down to change the order.
To delete the intro video from any playlist, use the trash can icon to the right of the intro video in the sequence section. If you delete your intro video, it will be removed from the Infobase CDN as well, but only after you click the Save Changes button. Failure to click Save Changes will result in the intro remaining within your playlist.
