The ‘VSC’ is one image asset which represents a short form video product. Otherwise known as a video thumbnail or Video Image Capture (VIC).
A VSC can be taken from the video timeline directly, or submitted as a separate image asset.
VSC submission specs and requirements are as follows:
Option 1: Provide Timecode
- The frame from the provided Timecode will be extracted from the video stream and registered as a VSC master asset.
- Timecode should be in mm:ss:ff (minutes, seconds, frames, include hours if necessary)
Option 2: Provide a JPEG image asset
- In lieu of a direct extraction from the video timeline, a separate asset can be submitted which will act as representative of the Shortform video product.
File specification requirements are as follows:
- Image must match video resolution (standard or clean cropped is permitted)
- 72 ppi
- RGB
- JPEG
Vertical Video Support:
- Same as the above spec.
- Image can be 16:9 landscape (1920×1080 or 3840×2160) or 9:16 portrait (1080×1920 or 2160×3840)
VSC Content Considerations:
To ensure trouble-free delivery please adhere to best practices as follows:
The VSC image…
