How long can videos and instructions be?
The limits in GIRI 12 for videos, imports, screen recording and PDF import, plus recommendations for long processes.
The short answerA video taken with the GIRI camera stops after 12 seconds; 3–5 seconds per step is recommended. Imported videos can be up to 600 MB. When GIRI converts them, it keeps the first 60 seconds. There is no fixed limit on the number of steps or chapters.

Recommendations
- One action per step, 3–5 seconds of video. That way workers take in each step at a glance.
- Structure long processes in chapters. From two chapters on, workers get a Chapter overview.
- Split very long processes into several instructions. Short instructions are quicker to find and easier to keep up to date.
- Videos have no sound. Anything people would need to hear belongs in the step description.
