Uploading Files

Wildmoka supports the upload of video files directly into your account. Once uploaded, your video can be used in multiple ways across your production and publishing workflows.

📁 How Uploaded VOD Files Can Be Used

Once a VOD file is ingested, it can be:

1. Stored as a clip – ready to be edited and published to social media or other platforms.

2. Assigned as a decorator – used as a pre-roll or post-roll video to add branding elements to other clips.

3. Used as a source video – from which smaller clips can be extracted using the clipping tool.

 

VOD content or existing video files can be uploaded as "video sources" into your Wildmoka account. Once uploaded the content can be used in any of three ways:

 

1. Stored as a clip that can be edited or modified then shared to social media.

2. Assigned as a "decorator" so it can be used as a pre/post-roll video.

3. Used as a video source so smaller sub-clips can be clipped out from the original source video.
