We've made it easy to manage all of your content in the streaming server by combining the former "Bumper Admin" menu with a new tab called Client Content. Under Client Content, you can upload content then designate whether it will be shown in the Content Catalog as a standalone title or if it will play before the movie(s).

Since the YouTube video is linked instead of being uploaded to the Swank server, the runtime of the video will not be displayed. Users will see a message, "Before your selected content plays, you may see a brief video".

Video Start & End Dates

The start date is the first date a video will play before an assigned movie. The end date is the final date a video will play before an assigned movie.

Leave the start and end dates for the video blank if the material is not time sensitive and may remain in the Content Catalog until you delete it.

If you prefer to designate dates for specific videos, click the calendar icons to specific the dates.

Designate Video Use

From one page, you can designate if the video should appear in the Content Catalog and be viewed individually like a movie or other content (Standalone) or if the video will be assigned to a standalone title and played as a commercial (Clip). A video may be designed for use as both a standalone and clip.

Click the Save button if you are finished managing this video.

Use as a Clip

Toggle the Clip button on if you want to be able to play the video before other content in the catalog like a commercial.

When you choose to use a video as a clip, you can decide if you want to assign the video to all titles in the Content Catalog or select the titles individually.
