Format

Videos

The Viond Builder and App support MP4, H264 encoded with 30fps.

Images

Supported image formats are PNG and JPG. For 360 images, we recommend using JPG as they are lighter. For interactive elements, you can use PNG so the alpha channel results in transparency.


Resolution

Media path: 1920x1080

High resolution media path: 4096x2048

Builder (preview mode)

Not all devices can play higher resolutions and higher bitrates. So, for preview purposes, Builder requires a full HD 1920x1080 maximal resolution and we recommend a bitrate of about 2Mbps. If you have a high performance device (e.g. Galaxy S9, Pixel2), you can play 4K videos, so use a 4096x2048 resolution in the high resolution media path. In that case we recommend a 12Mbps bitrate. That way, you can preview your draft in the publishing section with a higher resolution. If you think your device is 4K capable but the draft preview shows only fullHD, let us know: support@viond.io.

Publishing in an app

If you decided to publish in a Viond App, you must use maximum fullHD 1920x1080 resolution for the media path and 4K 4096x2048 for the high quality media path. We recommend 6Mbps for fullHD and 12Mbps for 4K. We will transcode it to support dynamic bitrate adaption and the different devices' resolutions.
