Modified on Fri, Aug 1 at 9:48 AM

There are 4 steps you'll need to follow to add a video to a playlist:

  1. Upload the file(s) you want to add, view tutorial here.

  2. Install a new video template to your playlist

  3. Edit the template and put your video into it

  4. Add the template to your live playlist




STEP 1: Install a new video template to your playlist


  • Click Manage Playlist in the Menu on the left side of the screen:


  • Find your playlist and click the Edit button:


Now that you're on your Playlist page, you can add your new video to an existing template or you can create a new template. For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll create a new one.

  • Click on Template Library:


  • Find the template called "Full Screen Video"
    • TIP: If you have a lot of templates in your library, you may want to use the search box and search for "Full Screen Video"

  • Once you've found the template, click it and select Install:




STEP 2: Add the video to the Full Screen Video template


Now that you have a new Full Screen Video, we'll want to edit it to add your video.

  • Click on the Full Screen Video template to open the context menu, and select Edit:

  • You should now see a preview of the template. Click on Edit Template in the top left of the page:


  • You should now see a window called "Edit Video Player Plus". Here is where we can add our video file. 


You should see the file you previously uploaded. Drag and Drop it from the right to the left

(be sure to remove the truDigital placeholder image by selecting - )

You'll need to follow these steps if you need to upload your file.




  • You can add multiple videos to one video template. We recommend only adding 1 video to each template for easier management.


  • When you have added all your videos, click the blue Save button:


  • Now we'll want to save the changes to the entire template. Mouse over the Save Changes button in the top left, and click Save Changes in the dropdown:



  • You should now see your video appear on the screen. Click the Back button to go back to your playlist:





OPTIONAL: Rename your template


You may want to rename the template so you can distinguish it from other templates you have installed

  • Click on the Full Screen Video to open the context menu, and select Rename:

  • Since this template contains my sample video, I'll name it "Sample Video":

 



STEP 3: Add the video template to your playlist


  • Now all we need to do is add the video template to the playlist. Click Edit underneath Live Playlist:

  • Then drag the template from My Templates over to the Live Playlist:

  • Finally, click Save:



Your image has now been added to your player. Your player will automatically update and begin displaying it within the next 10-15 minutes
