From Frameo version 1.10.15 you can import videos from an external micro SD card! It's still an experimental feature, which means that bugs and problems can occur. Don't hesitate to reach out to our support team in case you experience any problems.
Frames vary in their hardware specifications, which means that some frames will be better equipped to handle larger videos than others. You can check the requirements and recommendations for video files below.
Requirements for Importing Video
There are specific limits for video files, which have to be met to be able to import the videos to the frame. These limits vary depending on your frame's amount of RAM.
You can find your frame's amount of RAM by going to Settings -> About.
|
|
512 MB RAM | 1+ GB RAM |
|
Video Format |
.mp4 or .3gp |
.mp4 or .3gp |
|
Max Bitrate |
10 Mbps | 100 Mbps |
|
Max Resolution |
720p (1280 x 720p) |
1080p (1920 x 1080) |
If the video does not meet these requirements, the frame will not be able to import the video.
Recommended Limits for Importing Video
Your frame may show a warning in case the video file does not meet the recommended limits for video import. In many cases you will be able to import the video regardless of the warning. However, we strongly recommend following the recommended limits to ensure a smooth experience with your frame.
Here is a table with the recommended limits for a video:
| 7" frame | 10" frame | 15" frame | |
| Video Length | 4 sec - 4:59 min | 4 sec - 4:59 min | 4 sec - 4:59 min |
| Video File Size | 1 - 125 MB | 1 - 125 MB | 1 - 125 MB |
| Video Resolution |
720p (1280 x 720) |
720p (1280 x 720) |
1080p (1920 x 1080) |
| Aspect Ratio | 16:9 | 16:9 | 16:9 |
| Frame Rate | 30 frames per second | 30 frames per second | 30 frames per second |
| Bitrate | 2 - 5 Mbps | 2 - 5 Mbps | 2 - 10 Mbps |
Transcode Video
If a video does not match the recommended limits, we suggest that you transcode the video to match the recommendations.
There are plenty of tools (e.g. video editing software, video converters, video transcoders etc.) that make it possible to convert and transcode videos to match these recommended limits.
Although we're unable to provide support on how to use any specific tools, we enjoy using the free and Open Source video transcoder HandBrake, which is supported on Windows, Mac and Linux.
