Overview details

Click the Overview tab at the top of the page to view and edit basic video details. Changes are saved automatically as you tab out of a field. An asterisk (*) next to the field name indicates that the field is required. The following details can be edited:

• Title - No more than 255 characters.
• Reference ID - A unique ID assigned by a publisher to a video or playlist. Limited to no more than 150 characters. The reference ID is distinct from the video ID or playlist ID which are unique IDs generated by Brightcove. The reference ID enables coordination between Marketing Studio and other services such as a publisher's content management system. Reference IDs must always be unique. Deleting a video will allow a previously assigned reference ID to be reused.
• Description - No more than 250 characters.
• Tags - One or more tags, separated by commas. You can use tags to add videos to smart playlists or to facilitate searching videos.
  • Tags can be up to 128 characters. If any tags have more than 128 characters, an error will be displayed when you attempt to save changes.
  • Tags can't contain commas. For example, a tag of "roof, attic + front yard" is not supported.
  • A video can have no more than a total of 1200 tags.
  • A tag differing only in case (lowercase, uppercase) is handled as an identical tag and the case will automatically match those of the original tag.
  • After entering a tag, press the comma key or enter. Tags that have been added will display in a colored box.

Uploading a new image
