Explore playback resolutions

00:09

Any time an asset is uploaded to Flow Capture,

00:12

we'll always transcode a number of proxy files at lower playback resolutions.

00:17

This allows users to view content on the platform

00:20

even if they have a slower connection speed.

00:23

However, if you'd like to prevent users from viewing at these lower resolutions,

00:28

you can do so using the allow playback

00:30

resolution toggles which can be set for any folder.

00:34

To do so, first select the folder in question

00:37

and then click the asset options tab on the right.

00:41

Once you do, you'll see an allowable playback resolution section

00:46

with a toggle next to each of the following resolutions.

00:55

and 4K.

00:58

Each of these resolutions can be toggled on or off depending on your preference.

01:03

And only those left on will be playable.

01:06

For example, if we leave 720, 2K

01:11

and 4K turned on,

01:13

users will only be able to view content at those resolutions.

01:17

Note that for each upload Flow Capture will always generate these proxy

01:22

file transcodes regardless of which toggles are on or off.

01:26

In other words, these toggles dictate which trends codes are playable,

01:31

not which trends codes are generated

01:34

because of this. You can always adjust these options any time you like

01:37

and the trans codes will be available for playback right away

01:40

without the need to re upload your files.
