Preparing Your Movie

Before you can upload a movie to GoAnimate, you need to make sure it's in the right format. GoAnimate supports the following video formats:

- MP4 - MOV - AVI - WMV - FLV

If your movie isn't in one of these formats, you might need to convert it using a video converter tool. There are plenty of free options out there, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding one that works for you.

Once you've got your movie in the right format, it's time to make sure it's the right size. GoAnimate has a maximum file size limit of 500MB. If your movie is larger than this, you might need to compress it using a video compression tool.

Uploading Your Movie to GoAnimate

Alright, now that your movie is in the right format and size, it's time to upload it to GoAnimate. Here's how you do it:

1. 1. Log in to your GoAnimate account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a free trial here.
