Publishing Module

Can I publish a player using iFrame code?

We no longer offer the iFrame publishing code option for AS3 players. Please choose from one of the other more robust publishing code types, like JavaScript.

Can I see my AS3 Players in the Console?

You cannot access the AS3 Players you create in the Brightcove Console.

Can I see my Brightcove AS2 players in the Publishing module?

If you were a Brightcove customer before the release of Brightcove 3, you can access your Brightcove AS2 players in the Console. Your AS2 players will not appear in the Publishing module.

Can I use my existing AS2 player as my default viral title player?

No, your default viral player must be an AS3 player.

How do I add content to my player?

Once you've created a player, you can assign one or more playlists to it, using the Media module. See Assigning Content to Players. If your player template doesn't accept playlists, you can assign a video to it using Quick Video Publish or assign content to the player programmatically by editing parameters in the publishing code for the player and specifying the video ID property of the video you want to play. See Assigning Content to Players Programmatically.

How do I select my default viral title player?

You can use the Brightcove Studio to select a single-video AS3 player to be the player used when a virally syndicated video from your account is played back. Set the default viral player in the Account Settings page of the Brightcove Studio.

What is a custom player template?

You can use the style editor in the Publishing module to change the look and feel of every visual component of a Brightcove player. In addition, if you are a Brightcove Pro or Enterprise customer, you can create custom player templates, which offers you a much richer, more powerful scope for customizing players. A custom player template can let you create a player with an enormous variety of combinations of layouts, usiing standard or custom-developed components.

What is the Publishing module?

The Brightcove Studio Publishing module is a user-interface module that improves and replaces the video player design and management features of the Brightcove Console. The Publishing module gives you the ability to style the out-of-the-box or custom player templates in a highly interactive and user friendly model. Players created in the Publishing module leverage the AS3 technology to achieve faster performance and a richer, more flexible viewer experience. Using pre-defined components or custom components you develop, you can assemble unique player templates with powerful features.

What player templates are available?

You can use the Publishing module to choose one of the many standard player templates for your players. In addition, if you are a Brightcove Pro or Enterprise customer, you can create custom player templates and add them your account.
