The CARMA Video Content Admin provides the ability to edit video details, add thumbnails, view stats, publish videos, download galleries, delete video sets, approve content, and search your uploaded videos.

Searching Your Active Videos

The "Video Search" box at the top of the page allows you to search for specific video sets active in your CARMA system by using a wide variety of search parameters. You can search by ID, Set ID, Path, Caption, who the video was added by, what site the video is active on, and a wide variety of details relating to the general video details and the actor's (or actors') physical description(s).

The CARMA Video Search

To search for a video (or video set), fill in the available fields, select applicable options from the drop-down menus, and click "Apply These Selections". Your list of Videos at the bottom will now only display sets that match the search parameters specified in the "Video Search" box.

Managing Your Videos

CARMA provides a list of Videos at the bottom of the page, where you can view essential information and manage your uploaded videos.

The CARMA Video List

The "Videos" list displays various details regarding your available videos. You can browse available thumbnails for your video set by using the green left and right arrows in the "Thumbnail" column.

The "Information" column displays basic information regarding your video, such as how many video clips and types are in the set, the caption that you used for the video, and your video's main description. The numbers and icons at the bottom of each video set's "information" category display (in order): how many categories the video is in, how many actors (by gender) are in the video, how many locations the video is in, and what the video is categorized under, respectively. The "Set ID" of your video set is also displayed under the "information" column.

Under the "Deployment" column, you can see when that video set was added to the system. The "Active On" list shows what sites your video is active on, as well as the start/end dates, how many views the set has on each site, and the average rating on each site. The "Scheduled" list shows which sites the video is scheduled to be displayed on, and when it is to be displayed.

The Action Icons on the right side of the page allow you to perform various actions on each available video. These include:

  • Show Video Set Details - Displays all essential information regarding the video set (description, actors, thumbnail, etc.)
  • Edit Video Set Details - Allows you to edit essential information regarding the video set (description, actors, etc.)
  • Change the categories this set is in - Allows you to re-categorize your video set by changing the categories the videos are organized under.
  • Thumbnail List - Allows you to view a list of available thumbnail images, and choose a main thumbnail for your set.
    • Note: As of CARMA version 1.4.0.1, admins can upload custom images to be the sample image for a video set with the "Upload Custom Sample" feature.
  • View Video Set Stats - Brings you to the "Content Stats" section of the Stats Admin, where you can view ratings and number of views for that video set.
  • Publish set on specific sites at specific times - Allows you to set multiple specific times/dates for the video set to be displayed on a particular site. You can set the time/date by using a Freeform Date.
  • Delete Video Set - Deletes the specified video set from your CARMA system.
