Reprocessing
Insert, modify, or remove ad breaks in an existing asset and save the result as a new asset.
Content reprocessing allows you to insert ad breaks into an existing Uplynk asset. You can open an asset, create, read, update, and delete ad breaks, and save the result as a new asset.
Reprocessing re-encodes modified segments and may result in additional encoding costs.
The reprocessing screen consists of the following panels and sections:
| Section | Feature | Details |
|---|---|---|
| A | Details | Modify the reprocessed asset's name, ID, and ad breaks. |
| B | Player | Play back video with ad breaks. |
| C | Seek Bar | View ad breaks in blue. Select a position on the seek bar, then select + Ad Break to use that timestamp for a new ad break. |
| D | Source/Output Info | Displays 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 which panels to show or hide. |
| G | Help | Learn Shortcut Keys: View a list of available keyboard shortcuts. Documentation: Link to relevant content. |
