2The video loads into the player and its metadata is read automatically.
3Review the properties listed below the player.
4Upload a different file at any time to see its metadata instead.

Tips & Tricks

✓Use the duration and resolution fields to quickly confirm you have the right video file before further editing.
✓The "type" field shows your browser's detected MIME type, which can help spot mislabeled file extensions.
✓For deeper technical details like codec or bitrate, you'll need a dedicated media-inspection tool.
✓Check the file size here before uploading elsewhere if a platform has strict size limits.
