Easily upload your own video content directly to galleries! If you’re a photographer or videographer, showcase your videos and films in the way they were meant to be shared.
Begin in the Photos & Media tab of your gallery.
Please Note: When uploading video files, your computer's local drive needs to have some free space available (about x2 the uploaded video size). This is required to process the video for various streaming options.
Upload Video Clips
Video Clips are short videos, up to 30 seconds long, that can be uploaded directly to the gallery. These clips are always available for clients to download, offering a convenient option for easy video sharing.
Upload a video clip directly to your gallery, just as you would with standard JPG images. Photos can be uploaded alongside video clips, which can be arranged by scenes and played automatically in the gallery. Click the Photos & Clips icon.
In the gallery:
Upload Featured Video
Featured Videos are longer video forms, such as full speeches, highlight videos, all footage of the day, documentary videos, etc. Videos can be up to 90 minutes, 20 GB, and must be in .mp4 or .mov format. Click the Featured Video icon.
Click Select Video to choose your Featured Video.
After selecting your Featured Video, the upload will begin.
Please Note: The Uploader will create three versions of the videos: low, medium, and high resolution. When uploading Featured Videos or Video Clips, if the Uploader restarts during this Processing stage, or if you add additional files during upload, the current resolution's processing progress will be restarted.
Featured Video Settings
Name and Thumbnail
After the upload is complete you can edit the video settings. Add a Name for the video. Then click to upload a Thumbnail image. It should be the same dimensions as your uploaded Featured Video.
Download Settings
Then update the Downloads by clicking on the Settings button.
In the Download Settings, you can checkmark to Allow free Video downloads for Main Clients, Photographer Invited, or all guests of the gallery. If you have Video Downloads enabled in your Store Pricing, any users who are not eligible to download the video for free will be able to purchase it. You will see this in the Slideshows and Videos product in your Store Pricing. Click Apply to save your changes.
Please Note: Videos downloaded by clients will be in the highest resolution available.
If you need to edit your video again, in the Photos & Media tab, click on the three dots on the video and click Video Settings.
