Creating a Recording Using Uploaded Media

Overview

You can upload your own recordings made using software other than EchoVideo. Only one file can be uploaded at a time. Although users can select multiple files, only the last of the series will be successfully imported.

Notes and Limitations Surrounding Uploads

Support Content Formats

The file(s) you upload must be one of the Supported Content Formats or it cannot be uploaded or processed. When you upload a file, EchoVideo will change it to a proprietary format. Depending on the characteristics of your original file, the output may be different.

File Size Limits

EchoVideo imposes a 20GB file size limit for uploads. If uploading to EchoVideo from a location other than your local computer (i.e., Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, etc.), the uploader imposes a 220MB file size limit. If your file is larger than 220MB, download it to your local computer first, then upload it to EchoVideo. It must still be smaller than 20GB.

Troubleshooting Presentation Plug-in Content

If you use a plug-in (such as ChemDraw) to generate equations, molecular drawings, or other items for your PowerPoint presentation, you may find these being stripped or otherwise altered when you upload the file. In this case, convert the PPT to PDF and upload the PDF. Alternately, for Windows users (and Instructors only), use the EchoVideo PowerPoint Ribbon add-on to publish the presentation. Both of these methods retain plug-in content in the presentation.

Exported graphics to PDF format is not supported. Some graphics programs will allow you to export or save a graphics file (.png, .jpg, .gif, etc.) as a .pdf file. While EchoVideo will recognize it as a PDF and allow you to upload it, media processing will fail.

Uploading Steps

1. Login to the EchoVideo portal with your NEOMED email address.
2. Click Create on the top side of the page.
3. Select Upload Media.
4. In the window, use the location selection on the left to identify where the file you want to upload resides, then follow the prompts. Your local computer is selected by default.
5. Click the icon in the center of the screen to select the file(s) to upload.

6. Select the file(s) you want to upload. You may select multiple files for upload (up to 30), using the Shift+Select or CTRL/Command+select functionality. You may also drag and drop multiple files to the window.
7. Once the file(s) you want to upload are listed in the window, click Upload.

8. The window changes to provide an upload progress bar. When finished, the window disappears. 
9. IMPORTANT: CLOSING the window before upload(s) complete will CANCEL THE UPLOAD. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO CANCEL THE UPLOAD.
10. The newly uploaded file appears in your Library but is dimmed while it is processed. NOTE that you may need to refresh the page to see the newly uploaded file. Your presentation will appear in your EchoVideo portal under the Library tab. It will not be available for viewing until after it finishes processing.
