Control access to content

Admin rights are important when sharing video externally or progressing from works in progress to an end result. Pre or post-production assets can be tagged and given editorial comments to ensure everyone knows where they are with project timelines and updates. Admin controls and user rights establish deadlines for your video content.

Optimize for SEO

Advanced video libraries provide tools that monitor the impact of catchy taglines, headers and SEO. In-built analytics track data related to your content. This information can then be shared throughout a department to see how a campaign or project is progressing.
