What Are the Recommended Settings for My File Types?
ConceptShare recommends the following settings and options for different file types that you upload. These settings help ensure that the files are optimized for asset viewing and asset versioning.
Images
These are the recommended settings and options for image–based assets. These settings help reduce the risk of processing errors and provide an ideal end–user experience.
These recommendations are not ConceptShare limitations. Take note, however, that you might experience conversion or display issues if you do not follow these recommendations. For example, each browser or version has a maximum supported size. Beyond this size, the image might not display in its entirety and the browser might not provide any indication that there are missing visuals. As of Spring 2018, the average browser limitation is 8196 x 8196 pixels.
The image should:
- Be less than 4000-px wide by 4000-px high.
- Be in the sRGB color space.
- Be at 72 DPI.
- Be stripped of its metadata (for example, EXIF tags) to reduce the file size.
- Not use any specific CC color profiles that are embedded.
Documents
ConceptShare's internal document format is PDF. The system will convert any non–PDF document to PDF. There are some features of PDF that are not fully supported. The following lists some features and related suggestions for processing PDF files:

Determining Which Sections Will Be Available
Depending on the size of the input video, a number of renditions or proxies can be created. The following chart will help determine what renditions are available based on the input dimensions. In some cases, the video can be proportionally transcoded and scaled. You can upload video files to ConceptShare at any frame rate, but ConceptShare will render any file exceeding 30 fps at 30 fps.
Input Video Size | Low Rendition | Medium Rendition | High Rendition |
---|---|---|---|
Width >1920 or Height >1080 | Yes (Scaled) | Yes (Scaled) | Yes (Scaled) |
Width 1280–1920 or Height 720–1080 | Yes (Scaled) | Yes (Scaled) | Yes |
Width 640–1280 or Height 360–720 | Yes (Scaled) | Yes | No |
Width <640 and Height <360 | No | Yes (Low rendition becomes the default option) | No |
ConceptShare supports/recommends the following proxy settings:

Video Playback
You can upload video files at any frame rate, but ConceptShare will render any file exceeding 30 fps at 30 fps.
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Safe Zones | ConceptShare renders safe zones at 90% for action areas and 80% for title areas. In addition, center–cut safe areas at 14:9 and 4:3 are 70% wide and 65% wide, respectively, at 90% height. |
Timecodes | ConceptShare does not currently support Drop–Frame Timecodes. All video timecodes are rendered in Non-Drop–Frame Timecodes.
ConceptShare currently supports Timecode Offset. When uploading a section of video that is a subset of a larger master video, ConceptShare will display the file timecode offset as such, assuming the Timecode Offset metadata is properly stored in the video. For example, the frames of a video file consisting of 00:30:00 to 01:00:00. |
Closed Captioning/Subtitle Support | ConceptShare does not currently support Closed Captioning or subtitles. However, it is technically possible to integrate Closed Caption support. This development is not currently part of the ConceptShare roadmap, and would be driven by customer/partner demand. |
Adaptive Steaming | ConceptShare does not currently support adaptive streaming. However, ConceptShare is currently evaluating adaptive streaming technologies. This development is not currently part of the near–term ConceptShare roadmap, and would be driven by customer/partner demand. |

Known Limitations
- Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is not currently supported and, therefore, will not render if embedded in HTML5 ZIP files.
- Use of web fonts is not supported when uploading HTML5 ZIP files. Instead, include the font files in the ZIP file and reference the local fonts.
Web Capture
- Make sure that the web link is for a publicly accessible website.
- The upload supports basic authentication.
- Do not include direct links to files. For instance, a link to a ZIP file will not be uploaded.
