Uploading videos to your library
Users on the Professional plan and above can upload videos directly to their account (storage limits vary by plan). Uploaded videos will include the most detailed metrics on your Dashboard (Video Play, Video Pause, Video Seek, and Video End).
Uploading new videos
To upload a video, click on “Videos” on the left navigation menu to open your videos library. Then click the upload icon in the upper right of the page.
After you click on the upload icon, you will be prompted to choose the video file on your computer. We recommend uploading high-quality MP4 videos. Once the video is done processing, you can watch it, rename it, select a thumbnail, move it into a new folder, delete it, or add it to a reel when you’re in the reel builder.
NOTE: You can also upload videos to your library using this same process from within the Reel Builder media block.
Setting video thumbnails
After uploading videos, you can set the thumbnail that will appear when the video is used on a reel. To set a thumbnail, click on the 3-dot icon in the upper right of the video card and select “Choose Thumbnail.”
In the popup that opens, you can select from a number of thumbnails automatically generated from the video, or upload a custom image. Just be sure to use a high-quality image that is the same aspect ratio as your video for the best results on your reel.
NOTE: Custom thumbnails are only available on videos uploaded directly to ReelCrafter.
