Video and audio
The maximum file size we support for video and audio uploads is 2GB.
Video
Supported video file types are:
- MP4
- MOV
You can learn more about adding video to your Projects in Uploading your own videos.
While it is unlikely you'll need to compress a video to upload it to Elucidat, if you find you do need to, there are instructions in Compressing a video to decrease its file size. An example of when you may need to decrease a video's file size is if you're using a Backup SCORM and would like to make the SCORM package smaller.

- MP3
- WAV.
Uploading your own audio has more information about adding audio to your Projects.
Images
We support a maximum file size of 12MB for images.
Supported image files types are:

You can find out how to add images to your course in Adding an image.
Captions
A caption file can be added to a video or audio file to display captions alongside the content.

- VTT
- SRT
To learn how to upload captions to your video and audio, see Adding captions to your course's media.
Fonts
You can upload a font file if you'd prefer to use your own instead of one of the Google fonts provided by the platform.
Supported file types for fonts are:
- OTF
- EOT
- WOFF
- SVG
- TTF
TTF is the most common font format used by both Mac OS X and Windows platforms so it is more likely to be compatible with the broadest range of your learner's devices. For best results, we recommend using TTF where possible.
You can find out how to add your fonts to the platform in Using your own fonts.
Resources
A learner resource is a file you can add to your courses to provide supplemental information.
We support a maximum file size of 4MB.
Supported file types are:
- DOC
- PPT
- XLS
- PDF.
To learn more about resources, see Adding resource documents to your Project.
