03 - Media Settings

Configure each media item in a playlist: its name, whether it is sent to screens, stretch to fit, duration, playback times and quota, tags, audience targeting and proof of play. You can also clone or delete the item.

Open Media Settings

1. Open the playlist and click the layer.
2. In the media list, click Edit next to the item.

The Media Settings panel opens.

Media Settings

• Clone: copies the media item with all its settings.
• Delete: removes the media item from the layer.
• Save: saves your changes.
• Media Name: the name is also used in proof of play statistics. Type a name, then click the save icon.
• Publish to screens: turn this off to stop sending the item to screens. A disabled item stays in your library and keeps its settings.
• Stretch to fit the screen: select this to make an image or video fill the whole layer, without keeping its width-to-height ratio. Leave it cleared to keep the original proportions.
• Duration: how long the item plays. Click 5 Seconds, 7 Seconds or 10 Seconds, or type a value in hh:mm:ss. For example, 00:00:05 is 5 seconds.
• Optimize video (videos only): gives smoother playback and reduces the file size by up to 60% without losing quality.

To close the panel, click X.
