To ensure consistency, all video recordings are standardized to a resolution of 1920x1080 px. This will maintain a uniform and professional appearance across all videos.
Note: Videos are limited to 100 steps across all plans. This keeps your Guiddes concise and ensures a smoother experience for both creators and viewers. If your video exceeds 100 steps, we recommend splitting it into two separate videos.
