Uploading Pre-Recorded Videos

Last Stop: Pre-Recorded Video Upload Process

Uploaded videos are often used by event organizers to have as much pre-recorded content as possible for their live events. Videos might be: 

• Introduction video
• Promotional video
• 'We'll be right back' video
• Interviews
• Listing Sponsors
• Closing videos
• Mission moment videos
• Videos for whatever you can think of!

To Upload Videos:

We offer a concierge service for all video uploads. To upload your video(s), please reach out to your event representative or contact us at support@event.gives. Please send your videos at least one week before your event to allow time for our team to upload and for yours to test in Rehearsal Mode. This process allows our team to optimize video content and adjust the encoding settings to ensure playability across all browsers and network environments.

Optimal Settings for your videos:

Encoder: x264

Rate Control: CBR

Bitrate: 2000kbs

Keyframe Interval: 2

CPU Usage Preset: very fast

Profile: (none)

Tune: zerolatency

x264 Options: b-pyramid=0 b-frame=0

Base Resolution: 1280x720

Output Resolution: 1280x720

Once your video has been uploaded, it will appear in your "Video Streams" list. You can relabel the video by clicking on its title. The videos are listed in alphabetical order.

Event Organizers normally number the videos to allow them to show up in the correct order. You want to have them listed starting with the first video to play through the last video.

You will click "Go Live" when you are ready to push the video content through your Live Stream.
