There are two ways you can use video to extract motion: you can record video on your own device or you can record motion directly from Plask’s platform.

These instructions will help you import videos into Plask that you have recorded on your own device.​

To import your mp4 or webm, follow these steps:

• To upload your video, you must first add it to Plask’s library.
• Click the “+” button next to “Library” and file explorer will open.
• Locate your video file and add it to your library. You can also simply drag it down to the library.
• When your file is correctly loaded, you will see your icon automatically switch from animation mode to video mode.
