Add a video file to a layout
You can add a video to a layout using the custom layout editor. Use a video file to create a motion background for
your layout, to add a pre-roll and post-roll video to your channel, or to play back a pre-recorded video in a
channel without needing to use a computer connected to the HDMI input on Pearl to play back video.
Pearl supports H.264 encoded .MP4 video files up to a maximum size of 250 MB.
If you want your video file to play continuously when you switch layouts, you need to do two things.
First, you need to include the video file in every layout that you use. Second, you need to uncheck
the option Restart on layout switch in the video file settings. This way, your video file will not restart
or stop when you switch between layouts.
