Creating Clips

To Create a New Storyteller Clip, Complete the Following Steps in the CMS

• Select the ‘All Clips’ option from the menu on the left-hand side of the CMS.

• Click ‘New Clip' in the top right-hand corner of the Clips section.

• Click on 'Edit Titles' and add an 'Internal Title' to the Clip - this will be used in the CMS.

  • The Internal Title has a maximum length of 250 characters and can't be left empty.

• Optionally – add a ‘Display Title’, this will be displayed in your app and will be seen by users.

• Upload a video from your desktop or from Studio.

  • The preview allows you to review with sound, scrubbing, and other playback options.

  • The ideal dimensions for a Clip is 1080x1920px.

  • The ideal dimensions for a Thumbnail is 320x480px.

• Optionally, click on Thumbnails in the right pane to upload a thumbnail.

  • If no Thumbnail is uploaded, one will be automatically generated from your Clip. You can edit this by selecting the film icon on the right side under the preview and selecting a frame to use as a thumbnail.

• The Publishing tab in the area on the right allows CMS users to define categories/actions, plus controls for duplicating, downloading, and deleting.

  • Note: Clips are created with a Draft status by default and must be set to Publish to appear in the app

• Changes to the Clip will be saved automatically as they are made

When returning to the Clips list, you can sort Clips by 'Date created (most recent first)', 'Date created (oldest first)' and 'Title A-Z'. You can also use the search feature to find a particular Clip.

Additionally, you can find a Clip's ID by selecting the Clip and clicking 'Copy ID' in the top right corner.
