Troubleshooting tips for uploading your videos (🧵):

• If you're allowlisted to upload video, both the mobile and the browser clients will let you select .mp4 and .mov files

• If the upload hangs, it’s a filetype/codec issue and you need to reencode  the video (handbrake.fr is free and open-source)

*2/5 (Updated):

• You can test with a video shot from your phone, as that will definitely be a compatible filetype/codec for Farcaster

• Having a Power Badge automatically gives you access to video upload. More info about the Power Badge:

3/5 (Updated):

• If you just got your shiny new Power Badge, you may need to update your mobile app and/or force-quit + restart the app for the change in your video allowlist status to be reflected on your end.

4/5 (Updated):

• For Farcasters outside of the US, you *might* run into a bug that you won't be able to upload video; try connecting through a VPN to a US-based server. https://protonvpn.com/ (the same people behind Proton Mail) is private, secure, and has a free tier.

5/5 (Updated):

• Sometimes people lose video access or run into other weirdness. Sometimes it's a bug, sometimes it's other reasons.

• Describe your issue in /warpcast, because that channel is intended for bug reports/issues/support and the Farcaster team watches it regularly. Bump @dwr.eth or @v if needed.

Pretty much. The Power Badge status is recalculated/updated every Tuesday at 12:00 UTC/GMT, and as of right now, it’s the fastest and easiest way to get video upload access.

mmmm I don't understand, I read everything but... I just have to wait for it to enable itself?

Ah, sorry, that’s on me. I’ve been busy packing/preparing to move, and you were on the final request roster through the Google Form that I haven’t been able to go through and fully vet yet. (It’s over 300 people. 🫠)

The fastest and easiest way to get video access on FC now is through the Power Badge.

GM bro, I'm still waiting. I wanna fire the Warpcast by my last estimation. 😅😅 you mentioned that I’m on your list but the team needs more time to upgrade. ☘️☘️🤘🤘🔥🔥

I can't answer 1 & 2, but @dwr.eth, @gt, or someone else on the FC team probably could. ( @eclecticmethod also needs to use a VPN to upload videos, last I heard.)

I have a couple of questions, if I may.
1. For the upload to work, I have to be connected to a VPN, is this normal?
2. Are videos hashed or something? I mean, if I upload the same video again, the system reuses the 1st one?
3. What's the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything else?

Oh, I missed this reply until now. Yes! I’ll pass your request along to the Farcaster dev who does the video allowlisting, and I’ll then tag you in a cast once you’re allowlisted.

Hi - do you know what the process is to get Video access?  I currently am unable to upload mov/mp4 files (less than 5mb). I have been converting to gif but the quality is no where near as good.

who need space whales when you have space squids <3

I plop this simple ffmpeg bash script into my rc/alias to quickly clean videos before upload

convertvideo() { ffmpeg -i $1 -vcodec libx264 -crf 24 $2; }    

for example: 
$: convertvideo video.mov video.mp4

I've never wanted to be allowlisted for something more. 

I wish I could share the animation to the still below

If there is anything I can do to get on the next list, I would love to be able to post videos

I don't quite understand what I need to do to get on the allowed list.

Thanks for this opportunity. I submitted my application. I hope I access this amazing feature as soon.

🤞 I just requested. I hope to share my animated watercolor paintings here. TY.

Thanks for keeping this all together with videos!!

i think i'm allowlisted for video, but mp4s do not seem to work... (only very small GIFs have worked).  What is the max file size that FC allows to be uploaded?

Just applied again and hope it works 🥹♥️

Hey, tried dming you but Warpcast keeps encountering an error… weird. Would love to get access to upload videos if possible?

Buddy! I'm a 3D artist, and I would like to upload videos, but I don't know why I'm not allowlisted and where I can see that 🥺 I'm very lost here!
