   Maximum file size is 200 MB, and we currently support the following video formats: .mov, .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .webm, and .wmv. The recommended video ratio is 16:9 or 9:16.
   
   
5. Click the three dots (⋅⋅⋅) at the top right above the video, and drag to select which frame you would like to use as thumbnail. Then click Done.
   
   
6. Type a Title of the video if you like a title to display above the video (optional).

    Video File Compression Tips:

    • Reduce video length
      Try to keep your videos as brief as possible and cut out any unnecessary parts during the editing process.
    • Lower video resolution
      The lower the resolution, the smaller your file.
    • Change video codec
      There are many codecs to choose from. The most popular lossless codec is H.264, which preserves HD quality. Other common codecs are AVI, WMA, XviD, Real Audio, and Apple Video.
    • Lower audio bit rate
      If high fidelity vocals, or music isn’t a priority, you can reduce the file size quite a bit by lowering the audio bit rate.
    • Use 3rd party hosting
      Video sharing sites like YouTube and Vimeo make it easy to distribute your videos. You can embed such videos using the External content block.
