Upload Media Files
The PubClip service is capable of transcoding many media formats for streaming on the web. Most major media formats are supported and in typical usage, you will never need to know anything about configuring your audio and video quality settings.
To get your media files into PubClip, you can use the powerful multi-file upload form here. After you have chosen one or more media files, the file names and file sizes will appear in your upload list. The top progress bar will indicate how much total progress you have completed for all files being uploaded. The second progress bar indicates the individual file progress.
Once complete, your media will automatically be queued for transcoding. Transcoding is the process whereby PubClip will convert your media to the optimal format for streaming.
Advanced Features: Encoding Options
Before you upload your media files, you may want to configure how your media will be encoded. For most purposes, you will never need to modify the default settings. However, if you are an audiophile or are attempting to get the best stream rate or best quality, you may want to configure how your videos will be encoded.
The multi-file upload form contains a tab for Encoding Options at the top of the page. Select this tab to visit your account encoding options page.
On the encoding options form, you may set all of the following:
- audio bitrate
- frequency
- stereo options
When changing the default options, you may need to be aware of the following points:
- The simple rule is: the higher the quality settings, the more bandwidth is used. The lower the quality the faster the media will download and stream.
- Phone recordings always record at the lowest audio quality rate because the US telephone system uses a quality which is even lower than the PubClip lowest quality.
