Supported Formats

Video

In principle you can use any format you like - Hyper 8 will try to determine whether the format you provided is actually playable in a standard browser and report when it isn't, although this is by nature not 100% reliable. Hyper 8 offers the possibility to request transcoding of the file into formats that are guaranteed to be browser-compatible through the editor.

The video container formats Hyper 8 currently recognizes are:

• m4v
• mp4
• mkv
• mov

Images

These are the formats you can use for poster images. Poster images are always resized and transcoded for site builds.

• gif
• jpg/jpeg
• png
• webp

Subtitles

Note that subtitle support is just an experimental prototype implementation right now. You can put subtitle files alongside your video file(s) and they will probably show up in the video player on your built site, but at this point the functionality is neither guaranteed nor maintained - but it will be in the future.
