Metrixstream's powerful content management system now gives it's users the ability to create photosets directly from videos they upload. This feature bypasses the need to upload images that pertain to a movie by creating the images from the movie itself.
To create a photoset from a video in the CMS, do the following:
Log in to your Metrixstream CMS account and navigate to the top menu and select "Browse". In the drop-down menu that appears, choose "Content".
Once on the content page, you will see a list of all content that you have uploaded to the Metrixstream CMS. A fast way to filter through all of your content and find videos, select "Videos" from the "Type" drop-down menu in the search panel. Once you have that selected, click "Go".
This will give you a list of all videos that have been uploaded into Metrixstream. Locate the video that you wish to create a photoset from. When you have located the video, click on the thumbnail and you will navigate to the video's properties page. Under the video thumbnails, you will see a link that says "Video >> photoset". Click this link.
You will be placed on a page with the options "Start Time", "Stop Time" and "# of screenshots".
These options give you the power to dictate how many images are offered and and the length of time that lapses between images.
For instance, if you use the "# of screenshots" option and increase the number of screenshots from 40 to 100, the time that lapses between the images will decrease in order to create more images from the video.
When you have the settings that you are looking for designated, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll be given options as to where you would like these new images to show up.
You have the option to create a new photoset or add the images to an existing photoset.
In the relevant field, enter the new photoset name or the existing photoset name, and click "move" under the option you chose.
This will either create a new photoset in you Metrixstream CMS under the content menu or it will add the selected images to an existing photoset also located in the content section of the Metrixstream CMS.
