Preview Player
The Preview Player provides the ability to run the preview Flash files of the high resolution
content file. The preview file was automatically created when the content file was uploaded to
the MA server, see
Ingest on page 29.
The player displays all of the content file’s data and metadata, as well as a list of other files in
the same bin.
In addition, the Preview Player allows the User to:
• Edit the file’s metadata.
• Add file to the Shortlist .
• Assign the file thumbnail to be the bin thumbnail.
The thumbnail is the first frame of the video clip.
Flash Must Be Installed on the Client Computer for the Preview Player to Function.
Rendering Thumbnails and Preview Flash Files
A video’s thumbnail appears before its preview Flash file is completely rendered. It is possible to
check the status of the Flash file generation by previewing and looking at the Elapsed time slider.
