Introduction

From the main Admin screen, select the “Media Management” button.
Once in the Media Management page, select the “Add New Video” button.
Once inside the “Add New Video” page there are 4 Steps – or sections – of information to fill out. Step 1 contains the “Subject/Title”,  “Description”, and the “Speaker/Author” information that must be completed in order to save the video file.

Step 2 contains the Media Date information that must be completed in order to save the video file. NOTE: The date entered is the date the video was recorded, not the current date.

Step 3 contains File Options information that must be completed in order to save the video
file. Add Audio?: Check this option if there will be an audio-only version of the video as well.

After Steps 1-3 have been completed, click the “Save and Continue to File Management” box, located in Step 4.

File Management:
Once the new video item’s initial information is saved, the “Files” page will display. On this page, there will be a “Browse” section for every piece that must be uploaded. Locate and select the files to be uploaded by clicking the “Browse” button. All available “Browse” areas must have a file associated with them to be uploaded in order to complete the video item’s creation. Now, click “Upload”.

Once the “Upload” button has been pushed the “File Upload In Progress” box will open, displaying the progress of the upload.

Once the upload process has completed, the “Item has been created” box will display, confirming the creation of the new video item.

Video Item Management:
Once a video item has been uploaded to Sermon Connect, it is placed in the Video List.

To access this list, click on the “Video” button on the Media Management page, or in the Media Management sub-navigation.

Once inside the Video List, there are several options within each video item:

• Media files – displays the files associated with this video item.
• Edit – displays the setup information about the video item, which can be edited and updated.
• Delete – deletes the video item from Sermon Connect.
• View Comments – displays any viewer comments posted to the video item.
• Play – plays the video item in a small window, previewing how the item will play on the site.
• Embed – allows a user to place the video item directly into any external HTML page.
