Large videos files can be loaded into a LawFlow project, though you might want to consider leaving them out and hosting them on your local network. Here are some things to consider:
- Not all video formats can play through a browser. Most MP4s can play (depending on how they are encoded), but others aren’t supported by standard browsers.
- Videos are often slower to play through a browser than locally because, depending how the videos were encoded, the browser sometimes needs to download the whole 4GB video file before playing any of it.
- There are fewer controls when playing a video in a browser (you only have the basic browser controls as opposed to the full controls of specific video software).
- They use a lot of project storage.
Instead of uploading large videos to your LawFlow project, you may want to create a ‘placeholder file’ which you upload to LawFlow that tells the user where the videos can be found in your local drive.
