Common Questions
Do I have to pick just one platform to migrate from?
No. You can upload videos from any source — YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, SproutVideo, or your own files. SmartVideo hosts and delivers them all the same way.
Will migration break my existing pages?
No. You’re swapping video embeds — your pages, URLs, and SEO rankings stay exactly the same.
How long does migration take?
It depends on how many videos you have. A handful of videos takes 15–20 minutes. Larger libraries may take longer, and our support team can help with bulk migrations.
Do I need a developer?
No. The WordPress plugin requires zero code. For other platforms, you add one script tag and swap embed codes — each guide walks you through it.
How much does SmartVideo cost?
Plans start at $19/month with unlimited bandwidth and encoding. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no charge until day 15. See pricing.
