Overview #
There are two methods for uploading media and data to your LineVision Online account: through the LineVision Online web interface and through our desktop software options. This article covers uploading media and geoProjects using Remote GeoSystems desktop software including LineVision Desktop, Video GeoTagger and Video GeoEditor.
In order for video to be streamed over the web it must first be transcoded to a web-streamable format which can tie up cloud computing resources. For this reason we usually recommend using the LineVision Online Uploader built into Remote GeoSystems desktop-based software. This way the processing happens at the desktop level thereby reducing your cloud computing costs. Videos are also drastically reduced in size during the transcoding process, enabling quicker upload times and less bandwidth and storage usage versus pushing to LineVision Online for transcoding in the cloud. Additionally, videos will be ready for viewing almost immediately upon successful upload verses waiting for them to transcode after uploading through the web interface.
Additionally, while you can create and add data to geoProjects directly in LineVision Online, if you create a geoProject in LineVision Desktop software you will also need to upload that geoProject from LineVision Desktop to keep all the data any modifications intact.
Sign-in to LineVision Online #
Before you can upload media items and geoProjects to LineVision Online, you will need to be signed into the appropriate LineVision Online account in the desktop software.
For more details on using this capability, see the Online Menu article.
Upload a Single Media Item to LineVision Online #
Referencing the image below, right-click the media item in the Media Browser and select Upload to LineVision Online.
An upload confirmation window will appear showing the space required for the media item upload. There is also a checkbox option to Archive Video on Server. This option will also upload the original video to LineVision Online in addition to the transcoded web-streamable version. When ready to upload the media item, click the Start Upload button.
Uploader Confirmation #
After clicking Start Upload, you will see a confirmation message that your video is being uploaded.
NOTE: The upload times will vary depending on the speed of your computer and Internet connection. You may view the progress of your upload in the bottom right hand corner underneath the Map Viewer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CLOSE the desktop software while your video is being uploaded. This may cause file corruption and result in the loss of data.
Upload a geoProject to LineVision Online #
Once you are ready to upload your geoProject to LineVision Online, select the Online menu > Upload Current geoProject.
NOTE: In order to upload to LineVision Online, you must save the files you wish to upload as a geoProject. If you have not saved your files as part of a geoProject, you will get a prompt to do so before being allowed to upload. To save as a geoProject, go to File Menu > Save > Save Local geoProject.
NOTE: For modifications or edits to the Camera Target Footprint to take effect, you must save your geoProject before uploading.
Before uploading your geoProject, you will see a confirmation window that will display the size of the file you are uploading and how much space you have available on your online account. If you do not have enough available storage space to contain your file, it will not upload.
