Replace a static first impression.
An automated preview surfaces a compelling moment from the source video. It helps a viewer decide whether to watch the full asset while preserving a direct path to that content.
Generate previews at library scale.
Connect new uploads or an existing VOD library. Define preview duration, editorial exclusions and delivery requirements. The workflow generates previews without requiring a separate manual edit for each title.
Integrate with your discovery experience.
Previews can appear in publisher pages, apps or catalog experiences. Playback behavior, posters, device support, bandwidth and accessibility should be agreed with the player and front-end teams.
Measure the decision to watch.
Compare preview impressions, clicks to the full video and subsequent viewing. Use consistent definitions and comparable placements when evaluating previews against static thumbnails. A click increase alone does not establish a watch-time or revenue increase.
Questions, answered.
Are previews produced automatically?
Yes. Once sources and output rules are connected, the workflow can generate previews for eligible new and existing content.
Can previews replace thumbnails?
They can provide a moving preview alongside a static poster. The implementation should keep a poster fallback and respect reduced-motion and data-saving preferences.
How should performance be measured?
Compare discovery clicks and subsequent viewing against the same placement with a static thumbnail, using a controlled test where possible.
What video becomes a preview?
An eligible source video becomes a short selection of compelling moments, paired with its original content link. Duration and excluded scenes follow the agreed publishing rules.
Can previews be generated for a whole library?
Yes. Connected VOD libraries and new uploads can be processed automatically, with delivery and quality review configured for your catalog.
