Brandfolder’s video editor makes it easy to store, transcode, distribute, clip, and add watermarks within our video editor.
Video is an increasingly important way to tell your brand’s story. In addition to storing, transcoding, and distributing videos, Brandfolder makes it easy to clip and add watermarks within our video editor. Create, export, and distribute web-ready videos that are always on-brand.
Brandfolder's advanced video feature
The advanced video editor enables users to self-service download a brand-consistent video file rendition for their specific usage purpose. This includes file format conversions (e.g., MOV to MP4), downsizing resolution, clipping, and watermarking. The typical use case is enabling self-service video downloads in the right spec (of a final, published video) rather than editing raw footage.
To access advanced video options:
- Open the video's asset modal.
- Within the Overview tab, select Options.
- A modal will expand; select Advanced Editor.
You can change the File Type, Resolution, Clip Start, and Clip End there.
Video files can be converted into the following file types:
- mp4
- ogv
- mov
- flv
- webm
- png
- mp3/audio
- waveform png
You can select from the following Resolution options:
- original
- 480p
- 720p
- original
You can also select files to upload in the watermark options section to ensure protection and copyright usage:
- Under Watermark Image, select Click to upload watermark.
- A new modal will appear where you can drag and drop or browse for a watermark.
- Select Upload 1 file.
- Select the height, opacity, and placement.
Store videos
Organize, share, and store videos in your Brandfolder by uploading raw files or using YouTube, Vimeo, and BrightCove links. By creating a video section, categorize all your videos and add tags to sharing.
Titles and descriptions will populate automatically upon inserting the URL.
HTML5 native
Brandfolder videos now automatically stream using an HTML5 video player. The HTML5 player enhances speed for both streaming and downloading videos. End-users will save time distributing or implementing video files for marketing campaigns, creative content, and more. Video files can now stream within Brandfolder at 1080p resolution and can be uploaded at 8k resolution.
Brandfolder's video AI feature
Brandfolder offers video AI as another set of video features. These features are separate from the advanced video features. Video AI applies auto-tags, detects scene counts, and transcribes speech-to-text for video files. Transcriptions are added to the metadata tab, with an option to export them into a text file.
Auto-tags based on scene detection
Using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, Brandfolder quickly interprets each frame of an uploaded video asset and provides auto tags based on content within the asset. Users can search for videos based on tags that describe what’s within the video’s content to make them even more accessible. Additionally, the functionality detects the exact scene and provides relevant tags.
Speech-to-text transcription
Similar to scene detection, our video AI functionality creates metadata from all interpretable audio within a video asset, giving users even more criteria to use when searching for assets.
Video closed captioning
Adding closed captioning to videos in Brandfolder is as simple as attaching the right SRT or VTT files to the video asset in Brandfolder. To do this:
- Navigate to the Edit tab within the asset modal.
- In the attachments area, drag a file or select it to browse and upload the appropriate SRT or VTT file.
This functionality comes with some additional benefits worth noting:
- Supports multiple languages
- Available in the Brandfolder media player when embedded via CDN
- Viewers can choose font, color, and screen position
