How to add video to your wiki



Most videos that have been created in Movie Maker, Photostory or iMovie will be to big to load up to a wiki site. The maximum file size you can upload is 20 megabytes, however that would take a long time to open up on a wiki page. Ideally you would want to keep it below 5 megabytes.

Wikispaces will only play a Mp4 video, any other video type will just become a link e.g. However if it is an mp4 it will appear like the example at the bottom of the page.

A free piece of software that will convert any video file e.g. wmv or mov is **Any Video Converter.** Use the link below to download it. Install it then click on [|my tutorial] link to watch how to convert a video to mp4 format. This also creates a much smaller version that should be well under the 20 megabyte wikispaces limit.

(This file is 15 megabytes so make take a while to download) Watch a simple tutorial on using Any Video Converter (made by me using[|Jing]) [|Tutorial video on converting a video to mp4]
