Restrictions and Other Tips

  • The video file type for upload must be MP4 or MOV with h.264 codec - the upload will fail with any other video file type, extension, or codec. Imported videos should have a frame rate of 24 frames / sec.
  • If the extension for a video file is something other than MP4 or MOV, for example HDMP4, changing the extension to MP4 or MOV then resaving and renaming the video should help. Once the file is an MP4 or MOV, it can be imported into Vyond.
  • Video dimensions must not exceed 1920 x 1080p. 
  • The size limit for an uploaded video is 100MB and time limit is 90 minutes.
  • Maximum of 2 videos per scene. 
  • Uploaded videos added to the stage will only show up to 4 minutes in the existing scene. Add another scene if the MP4 or MOV file is longer than 4 minutes by clicking the Continue Last Scene option in the timeline.
