Introduction to Video Customization
0:00All right, guys, this is going to be a really quick video.
0:06I just kind of wanted to show you just really quickly how you're able to sort
0:11of gloss your
0:11videos up, do some customizations to them, and really make them look really
0:16nice, especially
0:17if you're doing client work, and you need something that's really beautiful
0:20client-facing.
0:21I'm going to kind of show you just really simple what you're able to do within
0:24Stream Agent, okay?
Demonstrating Custom Thumbnails and Branding
0:26So, as you can see here, we're in our video drive.
0:28We're going to go ahead and use this bottom right-hand video where you see the
0:32Vegas Golden Knights.
0:34I actually went out to Las Vegas.
0:35I'm originally from Las Vegas.
0:36I grew up in Vegas, and back in 2023 they, of course, won the Stanley Cup.
0:40I know a lot of people are still crying about it, but we're not going to get
0:43into that, all right?
0:45We're just really excited that they obviously won the Stanley Cup that year.
0:47I went there.
0:48I took some video.
0:49And, you know, the video's great.
0:50I took it on my iPhone.
0:51It's just a very basic video, and I'll show you kind of what that looks like.
0:54But as you can see, I threw on a quick little thumbnail onto it, just to really
1:00pop it here.
1:02Right?
1:03Now, I'm going to show you really quick.
1:04When you send somebody to the landing page, this is what the thumbnail looks
1:08like, and it's a much better photo.
1:10It's much nicer than what was originally on there.
1:13If you just did the Loup, or if you just did a thumbnail picture, it pops.
1:16It looks sharp.
1:17It's a really nice picture, so it looks really, really good-facing clients, right?
1:21As you can see, I customized the Vegas Golden Knights logo.
1:24The player, I put the black down here for the Golden Knights.
1:27I have their logo down here.
Enabling Comments and Interactive Features
1:29I also make comments available.
1:31You can see Eric Anderson down here said, "Great day to be a Golden Knights fan ."
1:35Love it.
1:36Love whoever Eric Anderson is, right?
1:38Comments it on this video, so you're able to have comments available.
1:42And then when you go ahead and click, obviously, on the video, then you have
1:45the parade.
1:45Once again, go Knights go, right?
1:48So that's the video there.
Benefits of Upscale Client Presentations
1:50And I just wanted to show you just really quick, like just what a kind of a fl
1:53eshed out landing
1:54page with a customized thumbnail, customized play bar with a logo on there,
1:59with your comments active.
2:01You can see how this just gives it a much more upscale presentation for your
2:06clients than it would if you were just to send them to a YouTube page, for example.
2:10Okay, so I just wanted to give that a little tutorial for you, and hopefully
2:14you can do something amazing with this.
2:16All right.
2:17We'll see you in the next video.
