HELP CONVERTING YOUR VIDEO
Before you commence uploading your video for assessment, use this tool to check your video upload speed:
To achieve the best results with video, we recommend preparing videos at a minimum resolution of 500x281 and using the H.264 video codec at about 4000 kbps and saving it in .mp4 format. Make sure that the video file is not too large - size of 2GB and length of 20 minutes - are the absolute maximum parameters. The video size can be trimmed using Macroplant Adapter.

Both of the examples below will instruct you on how to upload your videos as pieces of assessment. In each case the recommendation will be to save the file as Unlisted (meaning that the video file can not be searched but is accessible via direct link). Then you will need to copy the direct video URL/weblink to a word document, then upload the word document to the assignment dropbox AND paste it into the Comments section.
