Add video or file questions

Add the fields

Two blocks come pre-built for media: the File Upload block (for File Attachment fields) and the Video Pitch block (for Video Recording fields). But you're not limited to them — a File Attachment or Video Recording field can be added to any fieldable block. Label each clearly — "Upload your budget," "Record a two-minute intro."

Video field settings

A Video Recording field has two key settings: a maximum duration and an Allow upload toggle. With Allow upload on (the default), submitters can record in the browser or upload an existing MP4; turn it off to require an in-browser recording. (See: Record video inside Springform.)

File types and sizes

File uploads support PDF, Word, JPG, and PNG, up to 10 MB per file. Video uploads must be MP4, up to 500 MB — convert other formats to MP4 first. These limits apply on all plans.

What gets read

Uploaded documents and recorded video are processed automatically — documents have their text extracted and videos are transcribed — so reviewers and Springform AI can work from the actual content.

FAQs & common issues

  • Is video required? No — video fields work like any other field. Add them where video helps, skip them where it doesn't, and set each one required or optional.
