My First Post on d.tube
I posted for the firs time on d.tube a day ago! That being said I wanted to share a few things I either didn't realize until after I posted or things I had to look up separately on different resources. These are small tid bits I wish I knew before posting so I hope you find them helpful!
Video
- Max resolution is 480p
This means that even if you upload a 1080p video it will still tune it down to 480p and that's not changeable at this point as far as I can tell. - The max file size is 1 Gb
If you have a file larger than that size it will begin the upload but then report an issue and canel the upload. For me the whole page crashes and it gives me this
Thumbnail (snapshot)
- Thumbnail size is 1280x720
- Max thumbnail or snapshot as d.tube calls it size is 600 Kb
Tags
Tags are the exact same as on Steemit with the predefined tags.
For example my tags on this post are: steemit, dtube, video, steem, and blog. If I had a video to go along with that on d.tube I would keep those same tags & d.tube would even make my Steemit post for me.
When you Upload
This might be common sense to those of you who are familiar with d.tube; however, it wasn't to me. When you upload something on d.tube it will always create a post on Steemit also. This took me by surprise even if it's something that's relatively obvious to some of you folks out there. I decided to add it because it's better to be safe than sorry. That being said you want to post on d.tube because it will also post it on Steemit. This will prevent a double post.
Hopefully these tips helped you out!
