Embedding Rich Media in your pages: Video/Audio

The system allows you to upload and embed Video and Audio in the pages of your Flipbooks.  We'll host the files on our side so you don't have to worry about referencing a 3rd party hosting solution. NOTE:  Max File size for all formats is 50 Megabytes

First lets talk about formats that our system will accommodate:

• Video: Video formats that the Application accepts are mp4, mpg, mpeg, mov, ogv, ogg, wmv, avi, flv
  
  • Recommended Video Specifications for Optimal Display on Flipbooks:
    

    • Audio Codec: AAC or MP3
      Audio Sample rate: 48 khz
      Video Codec: H.264
      Frame rates: 24fps or 30fps
      Video Bitrate: 2,500 kbps or less
      Resolution: 4:3 or 16:9

We convert your Videos for use in Desktop and Mobile Flipbooks per below:

• Video codec: H.264
  Audio codec: AAC
  Video bitrate: 400-800kbps
  Desktop Format: MP4
  Mobile Format: MP4
  • Your Video Resolution MUST be even numbers in width and height.  Odd number resolutions will fail upon processing.
  • We also recommend you provide a file that uses H264 encoding which can help remove some of the variables involved in our conversion to best match the original video source quality.

• Audio: Upload your audio in MP3 format only.  MP3 is viewable on both desktop and mobile platforms.
• NOTE:  Max File size for all formats is 50 Megabytes
