Why did my video upload fail?
There are a few common things that cause uploaded videos to fail processing:
- Your Quicktime file has external references. Quicktime allows you to edit videos, including adding pieces of separate video files. Unfortunately, saving from Quicktime merely references pieces of separate videos, which means that they’re not included in the file that’s uploaded.
- Your video file contains a portion of either audio or video that is not supported.
- Your video file is corrupt or its format is unidentifiable and doesn’t match the file extension.
