FAQ
Can I upload an existing video file?
Yes. Use the upload option on any topic to attach an MP4.
Why does my video need to be compiled?
Each topic is a separate clip with its own settings. Compiling joins them, applies graphics and CTA, and produces one playable file.
What happens if I close the browser while compiling?
Compilation runs server-side. You can come back when it's done.
Can I add multiple CTAs?
Only one per video at the end. Use graphics for mid-video links.
Where do the analytics come from?
Plays count as views. CTA Click tracks button clicks. Feedback comes from invited reviewers.
Can I make the video private?
The direct link is unlisted but anyone with it can play. Don't share if you want to keep it internal.
