Uploading a film, links, PINs, following, and what goes where
A channel is a shelf of films with its own name and link. Anyone can watch a film from its link, in the app or in a browser. Uploading needs a Hosting Plan (PUB-2).
Upload a film
Tap share, then Upload to Channel. Tick one or more channels, or tap the plus to make one, then tap Upload. Everyone starts with one channel, Primary, which you can rename.
The film is cut first, so Keep Camcorder open until Hide appears. After that it carries on if you leave. On cellular, a long film asks first: Wait for Wi-Fi or Use cellular.
Hide moves a long upload or import out of the way. It shows as a line at the top of the screen, opens Transfers, and on iPhone shows on the Lock Screen. Every Cancel asks first, and stopping a first upload deletes what went up.
Links
Tap share, then Published, then Share link. A film's link opens it on one of its channels, with everything else on that channel beside it. A film on no channel is not shared.
Change a film and upload again: the link stays, and only what changed is sent.
Require PIN
In Channels, tap a channel's •••, then Edit, and turn on Require PIN: four digits. People enter it once, and following keeps them in. The PIN goes in the message when you share the link. Revoke everyone asks everyone for a new PIN, on phones and televisions.
Following
Opening a film or a channel from a link follows it, unless you unfollowed it before. You can follow or unfollow from a film's ••• or a channel's row.
The TV mark on home opens the feed, with four sections: Feed, Uploads, Following and Channels. Home's mark and the app icon show how many films are new. The icon's number is the only notification permission the app asks for. It sends no alerts or sounds.
On a film
Paused, swipe sideways to move between films. Tap a film's ••• for what you can do. On someone else's film: Import, to choose its clips and bring them into a project, unchanged, Open in Safari, and Report. You can report a film on the TV and on its web page too. A person reads every report.
Take down
On your film, tap Take down. Its videos and link are deleted from the web, and anyone with the link can no longer watch it. Nothing is deleted from your phone. Uploaded again, it gets a new link.
What goes where
What goes up is your clips as you cut them, when each was filmed, its filter, a short code for the phone that filmed it, and the music. Nothing of a clip outside your cuts goes up, and neither does where it was filmed. A viewer sees your channel's name, not who you are.
