Best practices for faster uploading

Flyp10 takes your High Definition video and quickly gets it in front of a judge for scoring and feedback.  It is a high-quality video that judges love and need to make the best assessment of your performance. 

There are many advantages of uploading over streaming.  These include zero freezing, no dropped feeds, and exact pairing of video and audio.  To make uploading feel like a real-time competition, the uploading should be quick.  Flyp10 has set our apps and website to upload and process your videos quickly.  We are always working to improve that process to get you results even faster.  Part of the upload speed and processing is dependent on the connection and file settings you use to get us your video performance.  As you can guess, the larger the video file and the weaker the Wi-Fi or data connection, the slower the uploading.  Here are our current recommendations for providing Flyp10 with high-quality video while minimizing upload times.

We recommend that when recording content to be judged, you record in “Airplane mode” or on “Do not Disturb” as notifications will disrupt the viewing of the video for our judges.

Data/Wi-Fi connection:  We recommend Wi-Fi.  In most areas, 5G mobile data is faster than Wi-Fi for downloading but typically not faster for uploading.  It is a good idea to identify the weak and strong Wi-Fi spots in your building ahead of the virtual completion.

Upload directly from your device vs the cloud:  We strongly recommend that you upload video files stored directly on your device.  With the right settings and a strong data connection, uploading from a cloud folder (iCloud, Google Drive) is possible on Flyp10, but not as reliable as one saved on the device running the Flyp10 app. 

HD Video Settings:  Many new smartphones and tablets have fantastic video quality.  They can be set at 4k/UHD with a high fps rate.  At Flyp10, standard HD is still great for viewing by the judges.  We recommend settings of 720p or 1080p and 30 fps.  This can also be labeled as HD, FHD or Full HD.  This stuff can get technical and managing setting may differ by manufacture.  If you need more information on how to adjust your video setting, we hope the links below can help you get started. Please consult your user manual if these do not apply to your device.

How do I know my video has been processed on Flyp10 with the highest quality?:  Once you complete the upload, navigate to “My Routines”.  For about a minute or less, your video will have an “Optimizing” message displayed.  Immediately after, your video is ready to play at the same quality the judges will see.  If your video is not completely processed into an easily watchable video shortly after upload, we recommend deleting the routine and making a new attempt. At any time before your routine gets in front of a judge, you may delete the routine.  Deleting a routine will send the funds back to your wallet for either a retry or a completely new upload. If you continue to have upload problems, please contact us at hello@flyp10.com with any Flyp10 questions.

In summary, we recommend

  • Wi-Fi
  • HD 720p or Full HD (FHD) 1080p (30fps)
  • Upload files stored on your device.
