Add Thumbnails, Proxies, and Video Formats to Assets

Depending on the file storage that you choose to ingest a media file, Streamline may create a thumbnail, a proxy, and an additional video format during ingest. You can also use a transcoder to add thumbnails, proxies, or additional video formats to existing assets on your Streamline Server.

To add thumbnails, proxies, and video formats to existing assets

1.In the main toolbar, click the  Browse icon.

The Assets panel opens displaying the assets on your Streamline Server that match the current search.

2.Select the assets for which to generate a thumbnail, proxy, or additional video format.

3.In the Assets toolbar, use the  Create Profile menu to select the profile with which to generate a thumbnail, proxy, or additional video format for the selected assets. This menu only displays profiles that have a set transcoder.

Streamline reports the transcode status for each selected asset in the Transcoders column. When the transcode finishes, Streamline adds a new profile containing the transcoded video file to the asset. You can use the Asset Editor panel to view the new profile that was added to the asset.
