Video

The Pierhouse Digital Asset Library comes with video support so that you can upload, store and share your movie clips. This will become increasingly useful as video becomes a widely used media format.

File formats supported

The system supports all popular formats such as MPEG, WMV, AVI and Flash.

Thumbnails, previews and resizing

To help you manage your video clips such as when viewing the results of a search, the software will create a thumbnail from the movie clip for you. An example of the software's flexibility is shown by the easy way in which you can choose which frame to use as the thumbnail when you add the video clip to your video repository.

To remove the need to download a full movie based on a thumbnail alone, the software will show a short preview clip in Flash (or MPEG) so that users can decide whether they want to download the video clip without having to download a large movie file.

Video Conversion

Video conversion: users can choose to convert the clip to a different video format on download. For example, they can convert to MPEG, AVI or Flash.

 

Did you know?

Not only do we support most file formats, produce thumbnails and previews to remove the probability of downloading the whole movie, we also give you the option to resize the video file before you download it!
