Split a long video into chapters, pick a cover from the exact frame and attach notes, slides or a spreadsheet — viewers download them from the page.
A long video, in chapters.
Chapters split the player’s timeline into named parts: viewers see the structure at once and jump to the topic they need.
- A timecode and a title — or the “at current frame” button right in the console player.
- The console flags a bad format, a repeated time, anything past the end and an empty title.
- Chapters are served as a WebVTT file that external players understand too. Showing them in the dodocast player is one switch.
The exact frame, not a random still.
Scrub to the moment you want, step frame by frame with the arrows and set the frame as the cover. Or upload your own image — it’s fitted to the cover format.
- Each step is one frame of the source video.
- Your own image — JPG or PNG up to 10 MB.
- The cover is the player poster and the card image. A playlist uses its first video’s cover.
Files for the video, right on the page.
Notes, slides, a spreadsheet or an archive of source files — viewers download them under the player, no separate mailing needed.
- Several files at a time; order, names and visibility are managed in the console.
- The server checks not just the extension but the file’s contents.
- Materials count towards storage. Not available on Starter; up to 30 per video on Pro and Business.
