I received an error stating my video file is too large. My video is only 10
minutes long. Why am I getting this error?
Video length is not an accurate measurement of video file size. Videos recorded
in high-definition will have large file sizes, despite the short length of the
recording.
If you are planning to use your iPhone® (4 or later), or iPad® (2 or later)
mobile digital device to record your video, keep in mind the following:
• The camera on the front is a VGA-quality camera and is much lower
resolution than the camera on the back. You may want to consider using
this front camera to record your video since the file will be smaller and
easier to upload. The resolution should still be adequate for viewing.
• The camera on the rear is high-definition. Using this HD camera to record
your video will produce a very large file. In order to upload it to the
Pearson ePortfolio system, you will need to compress the file before
uploading.
Note: iPhone 3G devices only have VGA video recording.
Are there any free tools available for video compression?
Yes. See the edTPA.com Prepare page for candidates
for information about
compression tools for PCs and Macs.
I have an image to submit, but the system doesn't allow me to upload it.
What should I do?
Image files (e.g., .jpg, .bmp, .gif) are not valid file formats for submission. You
can insert the image into a Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer document, and
save it using the "File/Save" or "File/Save As..." features in those applications.
I’m attempting to upload a file, but the file appears grayed-out and/or
doesn’t appear in the pop-up window where I choose the file I wish to
upload.
The Pearson ePortfolio system is configured to only recognize the acceptable file
formats stated in each Part template. Files that are not in an acceptable format
will not be available to upload. Please refer to the Part template for complete
information regarding the acceptable file formats for each Part.
See the edTPA.com Prepare page for candidates
for guidelines and tutorials for
completing the edTPA assessment in the Pearson ePortfolio system.
My files are listed as "In Progress," but I uploaded them a week ago. Is
something wrong?
On the Portfolio Summary page, any Part that has at least one uploaded file will
appear as "In Progress." This means that one or more files in the Part have been
successfully uploaded to the Pearson ePortfolio system, and that work on that
Task Part is in progress. It is not an indication of any specific file upload status.
