- Acceptable file size for uploading:
- We can currently accept media files up to 50MB. Staff should alert the tech team if they need to upload a larger file.
- Acceptable file types for uploading:
- Images: JPG, PNG, or GIF
- Audio: MP3, M4A, Ogg Vorbis, others. It depends on the formats the transcoder software will read.
- Video: QuickTime, WMV, etc. As with audio, it depends on the transcoder we select.
- Output formats
- Images: same as upload formats. It would be great if we could avoid making derivatives (transcoding, resizing). Unless we need to make thumbnails, then we should revisit this.
- Audio: MP3, M4A (H.264), Ogg Vorbis (Every file gets transcoded to these three formats)
- Video: webM, Ogg Theora, MP4 (H.264) (Every file gets transcoded to these three formats)
- Dimensions for image files TBD
- Full-sized images that represent individual sources: try for 1500px on the longest side; less is okay.
- Thumbnail for source: width 150px, height 150px
- Banner image for set: width 880px, height 294px
- Thumbnail for set: width 440px, height 147px
- We plan to use the carrierwave gem to upload media files.
