Videos are displayed in the Clipsource video portal. If you also have access to the Clipsource PressWeb, videos also appear in your press room.

Enter Dashboard and open your ScreeningRoom (Channel). The start page is the My Clips page, listing all uploaded clips. The latest uploaded video will appear at the top of the page.

Available clips
Once a file is fully uploaded, either internally or by an external partner, an email will notify admin users about the clip being available in My Clips list. Clips appear in the list even though they are not fully uploaded - status to the file will show where in the encoding and upload process the file is. When a clip has status Not published it has been fully uploaded and can be published. 

Upload a clip
If the clip is not already in the My Clips list you upload it. Clips are either uploaded via backend, via an FTP account or they are added from Mediabox. 

• Upload clip via backend
  Smaller clips can be uploaded via the backend interface. Maximum size to these files are 1GB. Go to Upload Clip in left side menu and Choose file. Click Upload. 
  
  
• Upload clip via FTP
  Larger files are uploaded via FTP. Upload details to a screeningroom are found in Account profile in the left side menu to the screeningroom, in the FTP Accounts tab.

• Add clip from Mediabox
  If you have access to Mediabox you can add videos from MB to show in your screening room.
