Note that you are uploading a folder.
The folder must contain the files you are minting as well as the Excel File mentioned in the first step.
Each file name must be exactly the same as indicated in the Excel File.
In total, four files are required. These are:
(1). Literature File
This is the video, song, book, certificate, or other content you want to mint.
The file should have a simple name, for example, edabook.
Supported File Formats:
Audio: WAV, FLAC, MP3, or SMP3
Book: PDF
Image (for books in PDF): JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP
Video: AAC, OGV, WEBM, MP4
Maximum file size: Fifty megabytes.
(2). Preview File
This is a free sample of your literature. It allows users to enjoy Free Reading Time for a book, Free Listening Time for a song, or Free Viewing Time for a video.
The Preview File should have a simple name, for example, bookpreview.
Supported File Formats:
The same formats as your Literature File.
Maximum file size: Fifty megabytes.
(3). Thumb File
This is the background image for your literature.
If you do not have a thumb file, EdaFace BCL will automatically create one for you during minting.
The Thumb File should have a simple name, for example, thumbfile.
Supported File Formats:
JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP
Maximum file size: Fifty megabytes.
(4). Excel File
