Upload Troubleshooting
If you receive an error message while uploading, double-check that your media files meet our upload requirements before trying again. If you are still receiving an error, you may need to reformat your file to another accepted file type. This is because although your media may be the correct size and format, there are so many ways that it can be encoded that our system doesn't recognize it. If that happens, don't worry! It's usually a quick and easy fix.
Here are some websites that you can use to reformat your file, before uploading again.
