Step 2 of 7
Upload your videos
YouOpen Videos under Photos in your dashboard. Any length or resolution, up to 60 GB a file.
Videos in the menuIt sits under Photos. The storage meter at the top shows how much of your video storage you've used: originals, plus the previews and copies PixVend makes.
Upload videos or a whole folderPick files, choose a folder, or drag either anywhere onto the page. Folders inside it become video folders, and each file becomes its own video, titled from its file name.
The folder barShow or hide the folder on your store, publish or hide every video in it at once, open its settings (prices and more, step 3), or send the whole folder to a client.
StatusLive means buyers can see it. HD at first sale means its streaming copies are made the first time it sells (step 3 explains why).
Trim or split, and EditTrim or split opens the timeline (step 5). Edit opens the video's own settings (step 4).
Watch it uploadThe bar shows the files going up. Big files go in parts, so if the connection drops or the tab closes, drop the same files again and it picks up where it stopped. A minute or two after uploading, the video's preview is made and it's ready.
Or upload from your live siteSigned in on your own store, open Videos or any video folder: the bar at the top shows Upload videos here. Drop files on the page and they land in the folder you're looking at, with that folder's prices.
Next: step 3
Step 3 of 7
Set prices once per folder
YouPress Folder settings on the folder bar. Every video in the folder follows these, including ones you upload later. Video defaults sets the same things for your whole store.
Watch online and rentWatch online lets the buyer stream the full video whenever they like from their private link. Rent is cheaper, time-limited viewing: the clock starts the first time they press play. Leave a price empty to not offer it.
DownloadsSell your original file, exactly as uploaded and downloaded instantly, and smaller copies (4K, 1080p, 720p) at their own prices. Copies are made the first time someone buys one, usually in a few minutes, so they use no storage until they sell.
Suggested prices by lengthA starting price plus an amount for every started 30 seconds, for example $5 plus $2: a 30-second clip suggests $7, a minute $9. Each video shows its suggestion with Use suggested, and Apply suggested prices to this folder sets them all.
Let buyers choose a clipBuyers drag a start and end on a full-length preview and pay for just that part: your full price shared out by length, never below the lowest clip price you set. Their part is cut from your original after they pay.
When a video is readyPublish each video as soon as its preview is made (good for events you sell as they come in), or keep new videos hidden until you review them.
Streaming copiesMake them when a video first sells (recommended): unsold videos use only their original. Prepare streaming copies right away makes the 480p and 1080p copies at upload for every video, even ones that never sell, which uses about 3.4 GB of video storage per hour of video.
Preview watermarkPreviews carry your photo watermark unless you turn it off here.
A video can have its own prices. Set prices on a single video and it keeps them when the folder changes. Use folder prices on that video makes it follow the folder again.

- What counts toward my video storage?
- Your original files plus everything PixVend makes from them: previews, streaming copies, download copies, editing copies for the trimmer and captions. Streaming and download copies are made at the first sale unless you prepare them right away, so unsold videos mostly use only their original.

- Can my team's photographers send me videos?
- Yes, through your Upload Link. Their videos arrive as a draft folder, and you review and publish them like photos.
