FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What should my CSV files contain?
  • Animated Line Graph Tool- Each CSV must have exactly two columns: month and rank. The month column should include numeric values (e.g., 1, 2, 3, …) representing the time period, and the rank column should contain numeric rankings for each month.
  • Animated Bars Tool – Each CSV file must include “month” and “value” columns for each dataset in lowercase.
    
• How many CSV files do I need? You are required to upload at least two CSV files (for example, your own data and one competitor’s data), but you can provide up to eight CSV files in total (one for your data and up to seven for competitors).
  
• What is the output format? Once you load your data, MetricsVision animates your data as a line chart and records the animation. The output is saved as a WebM video file, and a download link appears immediately after the recording completes.
  
• Can I download the video multiple times? Yes—you have unlimited downloads, but note that each new rendition deletes the previous recording.
  
• Which browsers support this tool? The tool is optimized for modern browsers such as Chrome and Firefox that support the captureStream() API.
