Test your export on the viewer's actual browser and device before committing to a hosting plan.

The practical answer
Test your export on the viewer's actual browser and device before committing to a hosting plan. Successful upload is not proof of successful playback.
A producer edits on a recent Mac while the client's approver uses an older Windows laptop. The producer's local playback test is insufficient.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
Export a short clip with difficult motion and audio
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Open the hosted clip on the target devices
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Record startup, seeking, sound and fallback results
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Include fine texture, a dark gradient, speech and a quick seek near the ending in the trial clip. Send the exact link to the intended recipient and ask them to report their device rather than assuming it matches yours.
Keep the record
Your project worksheet
Device, browser version, codec/profile, audio format, network, startup result, seeking result.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where uncompressed.io fits
Use uncompressed.io when you want hosted playback of a compatible uploaded export without another platform re-encode, alongside client review. Check current storage pools and allowances on the pricing page. If you require learning assessments or unattended exhibition scheduling, evaluate those systems separately.
Product reference: the existing uncompressed.io workflow guide. The scenarios and worksheets on this page are illustrative editorial examples, not customer testimonials.
Make the next step concrete
Test it with one real project.
Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
