Uploading Videos

Last Stop: Uploading Videos

Event Gives makes it easy for you to upload your videos to use during Live Streaming!

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

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

Add your videos: It's a simple drag-and-drop!

To add a video for your Live Stream, go to your 'Items' tab. Scroll down to "Video Stream Actions" and drag your video into the gray box, or click inside the gray box to select from your computer files.

It's that easy!

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.
