Introduction to Asset Management

Determine which video and image assets you want to include in your Brightcove Player	For each video title you will create, you will need either a WMV full-length video (for sellable video) or a Flash full-length video . At your option, you can also include a thumbnail , a video still , a logo overlay , a bumper and a preview video (recommended if your main video is 15 minutes or longer). Some Player templates are designed for playing a single title, others allow for a single lineup (sequence of titles) or even multiple lineups.
Prepare your video and image assets	You will then need to prepare your content for the Brightcove Player. As part of this preparation, you must either encode your video to Flash video format (FLV) or, for Pay Media titles, encode to Windows Media Video (WMV) format. You may also need to create the video stills and thumbnails for use in your title.
Use the Brightcove Console to Upload Your Video and Image Assets to the Brightcove service	Once the assets have been uploaded, you can view, rename, and delete the files, which are now being hosted by the Brightcove service. The Brightcove service takes care of all storage and bandwith for your content. You will use these assets when you create a video Title.
