Create & Upload Videos to Video Assets on Android App
The Video Feature on our Android RR Artists app allows artists to record videos up to 5 minutes in length right from their phones and upload them directly to the Asset Manager in their Artist Account.
Uploaded video files are stored in the Account Storage and are visible in the app as well as on the Creator Site under Videos in the Asset Manager.
