Video Brochure File Requirements: Video Format, Resolution & Artwork Guide

Prepare your video files and artwork correctly before custom video brochure production.

When preparing a custom video brochure project, customers usually need to provide two types of files:

  1. Video files — the content that will be played on the LCD screen
  2. Artwork files — the design files used for printing and production

Preparing the correct files before production helps avoid delays and ensures the final video brochure delivers the expected viewing and printing quality.

CheerTrend supports customers with file checking, video preparation, artwork review, and production setup before manufacturing.

Video File Requirements for Video Brochures

A video brochure can support different video file formats depending on the LCD module and playback system used in your project. Common formats are supported, including:

  • MP4
  • AVI
  • MOV
  • Other standard video formats

For the best compatibility and playback performance, we recommend:

ItemRecommended Requirement
Video FormatMP4
Video CodecH.264
Audio FormatMP3
Frame Rate25–30 fps
Aspect RatioMatch the LCD screen
File NameUse simple English names

MP4 with H.264 compression is recommended because it provides good compatibility, efficient file size, and smooth playback on most video brochure modules.

Manufacturer insight: During production, we receive video files from many different sources, including marketing agencies, design teams, and end customers. Files created from different editing software may use different codecs or export settings, so we normally check video compatibility before loading content into the finished video brochure.

Common Video Resolution Options for Different Screen Sizes

Choosing a suitable video resolution helps your content display clearly without unnecessary file size.

Video Brochure Screen SizeCommon Baseline Resolution
2.4 inch320 × 240
4.3 inch480 × 272
5 inch800 × 480
7 inch1024 × 600
10.1 inch1024 × 600
Video brochure screen resolution comparison for different LCD sizes

These are common baseline resolutions. Higher resolution options are also available depending on the LCD module selected for your project. The final supported resolution depends on the specific LCD module selected for your video brochure project.

If the video resolution is too low, images may appear blurry. If the resolution is much higher than the screen capability, the file size may increase without improving the viewing experience.

Video File Size and Memory Requirements

The maximum video length depends on several factors:

  • Video resolution
  • Compression settings
  • Bitrate
  • Number of videos
  • Memory capacity

Common memory options include:

MemoryTypical Use
128MBSuitable for standard short video content
256MB–512MBSuitable for longer videos or higher-quality content
1GB+Suitable for projects requiring multiple videos or larger files

For projects with multiple videos or longer presentations, we recommend selecting a larger memory capacity before production.

We will provide more details about memory selection in our upcoming Video Brochure Memory Guide.

Artwork File Requirements for Video Brochures

Besides video files, customers also need to prepare artwork files for printing and production.

Recommended artwork formats:

  • Adobe Illustrator (.AI)
  • PDF
  • PSD

To achieve the best printing quality, please prepare artwork with the following requirements:

✓ CMYK color mode
✓ Correct dieline size
✓ Bleed area included
✓ Fonts converted to outlines
✓ Images at suitable resolution
✓ Screen opening and button positions confirmed

For more details about cover design, printing finishes, and artwork preparation, see our Video Brochure Design Guide.

For custom video brochures, the printed cover, LCD screen, buttons, and internal components need to work together. Confirming the structure before final artwork helps prevent production adjustments.

Manufacturer insight: For custom video brochures, artwork is not only a printing file. The screen position, folding structure, buttons, speakers, and internal components all need to be considered before final production. Early artwork review helps avoid changes after printing starts.

We will share a downloadable Video Brochure Template once it is published.
