Welcome back for another round of releases and a particularly exciting new extension! See below for details and happy reading 🚀
Cloud Video Extension
We are thrilled to announce that Cloud Video is now available as an add-on extension in the Creative Force platform! 🎉
E-Commerce video is one of the largest growing content categories. But, it’s also one of the least supported when it comes to crucial software in the production management pipeline - resulting in bottlenecks and production tracking “black holes.”
“Does this product need video?”
“Are the stills done for it?”
“Who do I ask to see if we can finally outbound these samples?”
Even within our own customer-base, we’ve found that many of you have been piecing together video tracking spreadsheets, and spending extra time cross-referencing against the stills produced so effectively in Creative Force.
Poor video productions just kept longingly peering over the fence, seeing the benefits of their studio’s Creative Force streamlined photo operations… until now!
With the Creative Force Cloud Video Extension:
Boost productivity in your studio with powerful eComm photo and video content tracking and insights.
Whether eComm videos are internally created or vendor provided, track asset needs in one integrated solution.
Seamlessly play and transfer your edited videos in Kelvin.
And finally, ensure every product video is delivered with the right file name, to the right destination, every time.
Other New Features
Photo Review: Update Selection
Changing the selection in Photo Review has been highly requested. We’re happy to say that this is now possible. With this addition, you can change which images are selected, you can change position for an image, and you can upload additional images.
VPI Due Date
When changing the source of tasks to VPI, you can now define a Due Date for the VPI request. You can also define what should happen when the due date is passed, and pull back the request as photo production.
