Using encoded versions of videos for social sharing
When uploading a video to Facebook or YouTube we now use the highest encoded version of the video instead of the original video. This is to ensure that for videos, which are trimmed or have watermarks, Facebook and YouTube are displaying the proper version. It also ensures that the videos are fully compatible with the newest releases of these two platforms.
Support of new subtitle files
We now support the uploading of VTT files for subtitles besides the standard SRT file format.
