Easy Video Management
Easily ingest your content library
With our array of flexible ingest solutions you can automate a critical part of your media management workflow and save time and effort with a system that adapts to your needs.
If you have just a few new pieces of content per day or prefer to manually map your metadata, use the mpx Uploader, which provides a convenient way to ingest one or many files into a single media object and lets you track the progress while you continue to work. The system uses the Adobe Air® client to set up an FTP connection to make for quick uploads right from your machine. Track progress in the My Uploads section of the console.
If you have a large or quickly evolving content library and want automated ingest, we can help make the process much easier with Watch Folders and the Feed Reader.
Optimize your workflow
Editors and producers can manage video libraries more efficiently than ever with an intuitive design to access your content, a personalized user interface that shows only what’s needed to accomplish specific tasks, and additional features to make managing your growing content library easier. In addition, you can extend your console with custom commands which are powerful tools for kicking off almost any service or link from within your mpx workflow.
Smart Publish Profiles
The media publishing features of mpx give you ways to adapt to the dynamic online video environment.
- Easily distribute your video to web sites, mobile phones, and other IP devices with Publish Profiles, which automate tasks such as file encoding, thumbnail generation, file movement, and metadata preparation.
- Create multiple file targets for each Publish Profile to ensure that a specific video or image file is available for a particular destination. Add targets for thumbnail images, flash video files, MPEG-4 versions, low resolution, high resolution, or any other version you may need.
- Easily delete media at any stage using the one-step Unpublish command.
Increase video views with customized feeds
Managing feeds is one of the most important aspects of online video. Defining play sequence for videos, selecting specific videos for a list, creating dynamic lists of videos, and choosing feed formats and policies all require flexibility. And with an increasing number of devices, outlets, and destinations to deliver your feeds to, you need tools that can help you adapt, customize, and curate so you can engage your audience across an ever-changing video consumption landscape.
