- Video content (ASI sign) should be exported as an uncompressed AVI or MP4 file at the highest quality, with a framerate of 24, 30 or 60 frames per second (fps). Set the aspect ratio set to square pixels.
- Video must be exactly 10 seconds long.
- Static content at all locations should be exported as high-quality JPEG files, at 72 pixels per inch (ppi).
