Troubleshooting Tips
- “NO FILE” Message
If you encounter a “NO FILE” message, the resolution might be incorrect. Delete the existing file and upload a new one in the appropriate resolution. - New File Doesn’t Play
Ensure that you briefly close the brochure after uploading and disconnecting it from the computer. This step is crucial to initiate the playback of the new file. - No Drive Available on Your Computer
If the brochure isn’t recognized for upload, consider trying a different USB cable. Ensure there are no file locks preventing the deletion of files from the brochure. Confirm that your computer is configured to open new available drives. - Not Enough Space for New File Upload
On Mac, ensure that the Trash folder is emptied, creating space for the new content. - Can’t Upload a New File
If you’ve exhausted all the above steps without success, attempt to reformat the brochure on a PC. This action effectively deletes any previously stored files, providing a clean slate for new uploads. - Files Play in the Wrong Order
To control the playback sequence, rename your files based on the desired order (e.g., 01.mp4, 02.mp4, 03.mp4). - Every video I make on my iPhone does not fit. What should I do?
On iPhone (or many Android phones as well), you can shoot a video at different resolutions, including 720p, 1080p, and 4K. Video brochures are not designed to handle larger resolutions like 1080p or 4K. Please convert your video to a lower resolution based on the screen size of the brochure you purchased. -

Buyer FAQ: Uploading Content To A Video Brochure
These answers cover the practical points buyers usually confirm before ordering a custom video brochure project.
Which files should we prepare before loading content onto a video brochure?
Prepare the final approved video files together with any image or audio files you want stored on the device. Keeping the final file names and playback order clear makes loading and testing much easier.
Can the factory preload our video files before shipment?
Yes. Buyers can usually provide the approved final files before production is completed, so the content can be loaded and checked before shipment.
How do we decide how much memory is needed?
Memory depends on the length and number of approved files you want to preload. Share the final content plan first so the right storage option can be discussed before production.
Can the playback buttons be mapped to different videos or sections?
Yes. If your brochure uses multiple buttons, explain which file should play from each button so the playback order can be configured to match your presentation.
