Adjusting power options for the conversion & upload process


In order to avoid several problems when sending videos to the Dartfish platform there are several settings to change :
  • Setting the Power options to Always on.
  • Disabling the automatic updates Windows function.
Please keep in mind that the conversion speed is determined by your computer's processing power. The speed of the second part, the upload process, is determined by your internet connection's upload speed.
