Videos & library
Upload, replace, author library, schedule, and offline for buyers
Why videos deserve their own page
Workouts are the core of a course. Upload, day order, and replacing a clip on a published course tie into revisions — otherwise students see an inconsistent program.
Where to work
Course page → Manage videos. Storefront teasers are separate: Previews & materials.
Upload from scratch
- Add workout → upload a file or pick from library.
- Upload supports resume after a dropped connection.
- Set title and description for the workout.
- Assign day / week in the schedule — buyers see a calendar plan.
Author library
Previously uploaded clips are available when adding a workout:
- From library — pick a clip from another course or coaching;
- No need to re-upload the file;
- The list shows the source course or coaching.
You must still have rights to all content you use.
Replacing video on a published course
| Course status | On replace |
|---|---|
| Draft | Updates the course draft directly |
| Approved | Change goes into a revision; catalog keeps old clips until revision approval |
After replacements, Submit revision for moderation — Revisions.
Day-by-day schedule
- Link each workout to a day (and week/block if used).
- Buyers in the FitSpace app and website see a plan, not a flat file list.
- Order within a day is set in the manage-videos UI.
Previews vs workouts
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Previews | Short teaser on the catalog card |
| Workouts | Full clips after purchase |
Don’t mix Preview videos and Manage videos.
Offline for buyers
In the FitSpace app, buyers can download workouts for offline viewing. No extra author setting — within access duration for approved clips.
Quality tips
- Horizontal HD, stable picture, clear audio;
- One workout — one clip or clearly named parts;
- Unlicensed music/watermarks — moderation risk.
Common mistakes
- Replacing all videos but not submitting a revision.
- Only previews, no workouts — first moderation fails.
- No schedule days — worse app experience.
