Uploading videos and automatic protection

Supported formats, how long processing takes, and how each video is encrypted and prepared to stream at any connection speed.

Every file you upload is prepared for secure playback automatically. There is no separate encoder to install.

What happens to a video

1. The original is checked and converted to 360p, 720p and 1080p, never above the original’s quality.
2. It is cut into 6-second segments so playback starts fast and quality follows the connection.
3. Every segment is encrypted with that video’s own key. The original file is not kept after processing.
4. When the status says Ready, add the video to a course.

Formats and sizes

• MP4, MOV, MKV and most common formats work. MP4 with H.264 gives the best results.
• Up to 20 GB per file. The stored size is usually smaller than the original.
• Processing time depends on length; a 20-minute lesson usually takes a few minutes.

A video used in a course students have bought cannot be deleted, so no lesson is taken away from them. Remove it from the course first.
