VIDEO COMPRESSION REQUIREMENTS:



When a video file is published in the Admin Portal, it does not get automatically set for compression. There are certain requirements that a video file must have in order to be set to be compressed. First of all, there exist two types of transcoding flags: REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED. Here is what sets the following statuses:


For a video to be set REQUIRED, any of the following must be true:

  • video file extension is not mp4
  • mp4 video compression type is not "h264"
  • video audio compression type is not "aac"

For a video to be set RECOMMENDED, any of the following must be true:

  • video frame rate is greater than 30 fps
  • mp4 has a bitrate greater than 3000kbps (or 5000kbps for 360 video)
