Moving from another video tool
Bring the videos you already have into Vidler, set up folders and spaces, and send people the new links.
Already record videos with another tool? Bring the ones you want to keep into Vidler. Each one gets a Vidler link, captions and a summary, just like a new recording.
1. Download your videos
Download each video you want to keep from the other tool, usually as an MP4. Vidler can't sign in to another service or copy videos from it for you.
2. Upload them
Select Upload at the top of your library and pick several files at once, or drag them onto your library. Drop them on a folder's page to upload straight into that folder. Each file can be up to 5 GB. See Upload a video for the file types that work.
Or import from a link
If your files are already online, the API and the vidler import command can bring them in from a link:
- a public
httpslink to the video file itself; - a Dropbox or Google Drive share link to the file.
A link to a video's page on another video service is refused with "That page can't be imported. Download the video file and upload it instead."
3. Set up your workspace
- Make Folders for your own videos and Spaces for your team's. See Organise videos in folders and spaces.
- Invite your teammates and choose their access. See Invite your team.
- Choose how new videos are shared by default in Settings → Sharing and defaults.
4. Send the new links
Old links keep pointing to the other tool. Copy each video's Vidler link from Share, and replace old embeds with the code on the Embed tab. See Embed a video.
