Upload images and videos

What this covers: Uploading your own image and video files into your Library so you can add them to a loop. An asset is any piece of content you can put on screen; your Library is where all of your assets are stored.

Before you start: Have your files ready. Screenfluence accepts:

• Images: JPG, PNG, GIF (and other common image formats)
• Videos: MP4, M4V, MKV
• Files up to 2 GB each.

iPhone videos: iPhones record in .mov format, which the uploader doesn't accept. Convert the video to .mp4 first — free converters like HandBrake, or your Mac's iMovie export, do this in a couple of clicks.

#Steps

1. Click Library in the left sidebar.
2. Click the green New Asset button in the top-right corner.
3. In the New Asset window, choose the Upload Media panel.
4. The upload window opens — "Drop files here, browse files or import from:" — with the note "Images and video only up to 2 GB." Add your files any of these ways:
   • Drag and drop them anywhere in the window,
   • Click browse files to pick them from your computer (My Device), or
   • Import from Camera, Dropbox, or Link (a direct web address to a file).
5. When your files are listed — up to 20 per upload — start the upload.
6. When it finishes, your files appear in the Library, ready to drag into a loop (see How to build a loop).

#Tips & good to know

• Design content for your screen's shape: 1920×1080 works best for standard landscape screens (see Media Recommendations for sizing advice).
• Uploaded assets land in whichever folder you had open — open a folder first to upload straight into it.
• After uploading, hover an asset and click Edit to rename it, set its orientation, or add search tags (see Organizing your library).

#Troubleshooting

• A file won't add to the upload window: its format isn't accepted. Convert videos to MP4 (this includes .mov files from iPhones) and images to JPG or PNG, then try again.
• The upload fails partway: check your internet connection and try again; very large video files take a while.
• A file is over 2 GB: compress the video or split the content — 2 GB is the per-file ceiling.
