Metadata

Increase your video SEO and the efficiency of your video management by adding metadata to your mediaclips. 

1.0 | Adding metadata

• Navigate to the “Media Library”
• Select the video and edit the metadata in the “Metadata” tab:
  • Enter a title
    • A maximum of 50 characters is allowed.
    • Consider putting the most important keyword at the beginning of your title to improve your video SEO.
  • Add a description
    • A maximum of 300 characters is allowed.
    • Consider using the most important and relevant keywords in the description to improve your video SEO.
    • The description field accepts simple HTML tages, e.g. <a>, <i> and <u>.

• • Add an author (when applicable)
    • Google displays the author in the search results.
  • Deep link
    Enter the URL that leads to the page on which you want to index the video. This URL will also be selected when viewers click the share button on the control bar (provided that sharing is enabled in the playout settings).
    Tip:

    When you embed a video on your own website, we advise you to enter the page URL where you placed the video.

• • Add tags
    Consider adding tags with the most important keywords.
    Tip:

    You can add a “standard tag”, so mediaclip are automatically added to a playlist. For example: add a “video sitemap” tag to every video and create a playlist that contains all videos with the “video sitemap” tag. Learn more about playlists.

  • Disable commercials
    The Online Video Platform offers numerous opportunities to maximize earnings from video advertisements. However, some (sensitive) video content might not be suitable to be accompanied by advertisement. Select this option to avoid ads/commercials from playing at the start, during or at the end of this mediaclip (only when advertising is enabled in the playout settings).
    
    

2.0 | Custom fields

Some videos might require extra metadata fields, for example: “category”, “purpose”, “account manager” or “marketing director”. Only users with admin permissions are able to access the “Custom Fields” section (learn more about roles and permissions).

To add a custom field:

• Go to publication settings by clicking the gear icon on the top right.
• Select “Custom Fields” in the left menu panel to add or edit a custom field.
  Note:

  The Custom Fields section might not be enabled by default. If you have admin permissions, but are unable to access the custom fields section, please contact your account manager or support@bluebillywig.com

• Once you’ve filled in the name of the custom field in Label, you can select whether the custom field should be public, mandatory and visible. You can also select the type of the input field:

• • Text field
  • Text area
  • Rich text
  • Checkbox
  • List (dropdown menu)
  • Relation
  • Date
  • Color
