Why did I get a message saying I can’t play my video? #

Most likely, your video is encoded by the H.265 codec, which is not supported by most browsers, including Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

What should I do now? #

At the moment, the only option is to convert the video to the H.264 codec and upload it again into a page.
You can do this through this online service – https://anyconv.com/h265-to-h264-converter/
You can also use the Freemake desktop converter – hhttps://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/

Select Video settings.
Then select the option you need.

Autoplay – enable or disable autoplay when it is in the visible area.

Sound by default – the ability to turn off the default sound. Works great with autoplay function.

Loop – if you need looping “endless” playback then this option is for you.

Show controls – the ability to disable video control tools and the line with the video name.

Shadow – allows you to add shadow to the video file.

How to make shadow effect for images or videos

In Nimbus Note, you can highlight not only text, but also pictures and video. This is possible with the help of Shadow effect. Just click on the picture or video menu, and in the Style menu activate the Shadow option.

If you don’t want to change the settings one by one, then turn on the Motion mode and you will have a zingy video in one click. It looks great on the landing page and in the knowledge base.

Option control is available through the video menu – Video parameters.

Crop video #

Need to change the focus of your video clip but you don’t want to re-shoot your footage? The crop tool can help! With cropping, you can remove unnecessary or distracting portions of a video clip or change its dimensions to fit within a certain area.

Just upload the video on your page and click the pencil icon (the editing option). Find “Crop video” and select the video fragment you want to keep. Once you finish, the video will be saved to your page.

Just upload the video on your page and click the pencil icon (the editing option). Find “Convert to mp4/gif” and select the desired format and resolution. Once you finish, the converted file will be saved to your page.
