Uploading videos

You can upload videos to Livid in 2 ways.

1. On a desktop/laptop you can drag and drop videos into the library. These will be uploaded to the folder you are currently in. You can drag and drop multiple videos at once - they will be queued for upload one after the other.

2. On mobile or desktop, you can also use the Upload videos     option in the top right hand corner under New    . You can select multiple videos to upload and it will queue them one after the other.

The upload process

When the upload starts it will be displayed in the upload status queue in the bottom corner as well as in the folder you’re viewing. Whilst the video is upload, please do not refresh your page.

Once the upload is complete your video will begin optimizing. This process looks at creating multiple versions of your video for various screen sizes and bandwidths.

You can access the video whilst this is taking place.

You can begin to add/edit your video Title and Description whilst it’s still processing, or preview player customization options. To save customization options you will need to be on the Pro plan.

Adding a thumbnail

Once processing is complete you will be able to set a thumbnail for your video. This can be done by either uploading your own or selecting a frame from the video.

To use a frame from the video, slide or play the video until the selected frame is visible. Select Set as thumbnail     to add the selection to your video:

Generating a transcript

By default a transcript is not created, but you can add one very easily. To add a transcript, select the Generate Transcript     below the video:

Once generation is complete, the Closed Caption     option will be added to your video:
