Considerations
At eLife, videos are currently hosted externally for display on our website, so if videos are added, replaced, deleted within the texture framework this information would need to be sent across to the host.
Examples of video file types eLife has used in the past:
mov
avi
mp4
wmv
f4v
mpeg
m4v
3gp
