Mindstamp help guide
What kinds of video can I use in Mindstamp?
Learn which uploaded and hosted videos can be used as the source for a Mindstamp interactive experience.
Short answer
You can upload a video file or select an existing recording from a supported video host. The current Mindstamp 4.0 walkthrough lists Vimeo, Wistia, YouTube, Panopto, Kaltura, and JW Player as hosted sources; the interactive layer stays in Mindstamp.
How to do it
- Use a finished, web-ready source video; Mindstamp is not a full nonlinear video editor.
- For a file upload, export a common web format and keep an untouched master.
- For a hosted video, connect the source service and select the recording.
- Preview image quality, audio, captions, duration, and any replaced source before adding interactions.
Finish source editing first
Trim, combine, color-correct, and mix audio in a video editor before upload. Mindstamp can skip time or switch videos using navigation, but those tools do not replace source editing.
Plan for aspect ratio
Landscape, portrait, and square sources can support different use cases. Test the actual player placement before positioning interactions, especially when the experience will be watched on phones.
