Upload your content to KeyStone OnDemand
We recently wrote a blog post on how to create a screencast within our platform, and this built-in feature makes authoring courses and creating training videos easy. But what about that content you already have?
In KeyStone OnDemand, administrators and contributors have the ability to upload already-created content, and here are some helpful tips in using the content you want to add to the platform.
Upload a PDF file or a file from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, etc.
If you created an article or video and would like to add supplemental material as a resource for your learners, any type of file can be added as an attachment. Just click the "Attach Files" link when in editing mode of the article or video you would like to add materials to. This option is located on the bottom right side of the screen.
Optimal format for uploading videos
When uploading a video, the common formats include .AVI, .MOV, and .MP4. If you have a choice we recommend MP4 format encoded as H.264.
Please note that videos must be less than 150MB. For smoothest playback on all computers, consider making your video 800 x 600 resolution or smaller. For long videos, to minimize file size, produce screencams at 5 frames per second (fps); on-camera video should be encoded at 15fps.
Hint for transferring content from a Word document to the platform
Maybe you don't necessarily want to upload a Word document, but you do want to create an article using content directly from Word. Well if this is the case, don’t forget about our “Paste from Word” feature. Sometimes you will notice when you paste from Word that extra tags come into your new document or everything is re-formatted. In order to ensure a successful transfer from your Word document to our training platform, we created the below button. Now you can maintain your formatting with one quick click.
