Did you miss me? You did, didn’t you? It’s okay, you can tell me. Either way, I sure did miss you! And although this isn’t the same medium that we’ve grown accustomed to over the past year (they kicked me off the videos because I have an “attitude problem.” Whatever that means), I’m sure we can make the most of it. And what better time to make my valiant return than to a release filled with, like, twenty new features? They’re really throwing me to the wolves here, people, and I’m taking you all with me. So, as always, strap yourselves in as we explore some of the key features hitting the Video Platform this week.
Unified Video Editor Slide-Out Sidebar with Access to All Advanced Editing
To improve the lives of all you would-be content creators out there, we’ve consolidated the previous right-side menu, as well as the advanced editing tools on the center panel, into a single unified slide-out menu, which will now appear on the left side of the preview window in the YuJa Video Editor.
Video Editor Supports Ability to Remove Only Audio Track
And while we’re on the subject of the Video Editor, I’d also like to point out that we’ve added the option to mute audio tracks while still retaining the source video. You know, in case you’re in the middle of creating your magnum opus and right now is the time that your dog decides to play with his favorite squeaker toy. No reason that should ruin the whole shot, am I right?
Updated Interface for the Admin Panel’s Branding Page
The Branding page has been redesigned to feature a more organized structure with clear headings, along with new icons and colors to help stimulate you. Over the coming releases, each panel of the Admin Panel will receive a major makeover, so stay tuned!
Analytical Tracking for Video-Timeline Jumps by Users
Admins can now get a better understanding of how users interact with videos by being able to plainly see the boring parts they skipped over when they were too much to bear, and the good parts they jumped back to when they just couldn’t get enough. A blessing and a curse, believe me.
New Add-On (Yay): Integrate the Media Chooser with Drupal to Embed Content Into Your Website
And finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for (no, not for this blog to end): We’re introducing the latest Panorama Add-On! Through Drupal’s rich text editor, content creators can now use the Media Chooser to embed videos, documents, and playlists into their Drupal websites. This will allow those navigating the website to experience faster load times due to bandwidth offloading.
Well, that wasn’t so bad, was it? Kinda like slipping into an old, heavily worn shoe. I have to say, it feels good to be back.
