What Do I Need to Prepare Before Uploading?

Before uploading, make sure everything is ready for smooth playback.

You’ll need:

• Your video brochure (fully charged)
• A USB cable (included)
• A computer (Mac or Windows)
• Your video file (MP4 recommended)

Helpful tips:

• Match resolution to screen size
• Keep file size reasonable
• Use standard audio format (AAC)

If you’re unsure, testing your file in advance can save time.

How to Upload Your Video to a Video Brochure (Step-by-Step)

Uploading works just like using a USB flash drive.

1. Connect the video brochure to your computer via USB
2. It will appear as a removable drive
3. Delete the existing test video (to free space)
4. Drag and drop your new video file
5. Wait for the transfer to complete
6. Safely eject the device
7. Open the brochure to test playback

Important for Mac users:
After deleting files, empty the Trash — otherwise storage is not actually freed.

💡 Notes:

• Most models are plug-and-play
• 2.4” screens may require special formatting tools (rare today)

What Video Formats Are Supported? (MP4, AVI, MOV Explained)

Most video brochures support multiple formats, but optimization is key.

Recommended formats:

• MP4 (H.264) — best compatibility
• AVI
• MOV

Resolution guidelines:

Best performance settings:

• Frame rate: below 30 fps
• Lower bitrate for smoother playback

Most playback issues are solved by adjusting resolution.

Do You Charge for Video Uploading? (Free vs Supplier Support)

No — video uploading is completely free.

• You can upload videos yourself anytime
• Or they can be preloaded during production at no extra cost

A video is required during manufacturing for testing, so this is already part of the process.

If your file needs conversion or optimization, that can usually be handled as well.

Common Problems & How to Fix Them

Why Does My Video Show “No File”?

This is the most common issue.

Fix it by:

• Setting resolution to 800 × 480 (for 4.3” / 5”)
• Exporting as MP4 (H.264)
• Reducing frame rate to below 30 fps
• Trying 720p if needed

In most cases, adjusting the resolution solves the problem.

Why Is There No Sound on My Video Brochure?

If your video plays but has no sound:

Check:

• Audio format (AAC recommended)
• Export settings
• Whether audio track exists

Avoid uncommon codecs, as they often cause compatibility issues.

Other Common Issues

• Video not playing → check format & resolution
• Battery drains fast → reduce file size or brightness
• Nothing happens → confirm file is properly copied

Can You Change or Update the Video Later?

Yes — you can update the video anytime.

Simply reconnect the brochure to your computer and replace the file.

This makes video brochures ideal for:

• Multiple campaigns
• Different clients
• Confidential projects

You stay fully in control of your content.
