Content reprocessing allows you to insert ad breaks to an existing Uplynk asset. Specifically, open an asset; create, read, update, and delete ad breaks; and save as a new asset.
Content added to the library is known as an asset.
Reprocessing assets re-encodes the modified segments and may result in additional encoding costs.
The reprocessing screen is comprised of these panels and sections:
| Section | Feature | Details |
|---|---|---|
| A | Details | Modify reprocessed asset’s name, ID, and ad breaks. |
| B | Player | Play back video with ad breaks. |
| C | Seek Bar | View ad breaks in blue. Click on the seek bar then + Ad Break to use that timestamp for a new ad break. |
| D | Source/Output Info | Captures the title, ID, duration, ad-break timestamps, and date of the original asset, as well as the title, ID, duration and ad-break timestamps of the reprocessed asset. |
| E | Files | Manage reprocessing files: Open: Open a different file. Reprocess: Reprocess the original asset and create a new one with the desired changes. Reset All Changes: Revert all changes and return the asset to its original state. |
| F | Panels | Select the panels to view/hide. |
| G | Help | Learn Shortcut Keys: View a list of available keyboard shortcuts. Documentation: Link to relevant content. |
