<\/span>Gumlet User Interface<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nUsing Gumlet is quite easy as they have an easy-to-understand UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under Video tab, you will see different tabs like Video CMS, Collections, Profiles, Import Videos, Usage Analytics, and Monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Profiles<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFirst, let us understand what are Profiles. Profiles let you create different profiles or presets in which you can decide video formats, video codecs, part of the video to be trimmed, crop options, padding, generate subtitles etc.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
Most importantly you can add any image and your company name for branding purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Collections<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGumlet uses Collections to organize videos. You can create different courses and make collections accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere you can tell Gumlet how you want to upload a video to the platform, which profile you want to choose (the profile we just read in the section above), and the default insight property to track video analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are more settings in the Collections tab which are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPlayer Settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n Channel Settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n Video Protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Player Settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn Player Settings, you have basic & advanced settings for your video player like preload videos in page load, autoplay, SEO metadata, loop video, disable seek bar & player control settings, DRM, and Dynamic watermark to protect videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DRM is Digital Right Management which is more secure than password. It is very similar to the password but it is a more secure way to protect your content. Gumlet uses two popular DRM technologies to protect video which are Widevine and Fairplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Widevide was developed by Google to protect video content on Android devices and other devices like smart TVs etc. Fairplay DRM was developed by Apple to protect video content across iOS and Apple devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dynamic watermark is another advanced feature to protect videos. The embedded watermark contains information about viewers\u2019 IP address, and also the date and time they are watching the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is very difficult to remove the watermark without damaging the video. So unauthorized user cannot claim your videos as their own. Moreover, if someone shared or used your video without your permission you can use the information stored in the dynamic watermark to track down that user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Channel Settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nChannel is a YouTube-like space where you can showcase your videos for the channel created. For every collection, you can create channels. Additionally, you can also add a custom domain for your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of Collections and channels depends on the plan you choose. For example, in the Growth plan which costs $60\/month (Check the latest price) you can create 5 collections & 5 channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Security Settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThis section guarantees that only authorized people can view your videos. You can enable a signed URL which includes a token that will expire after some time. If anyone requests a video after that time, they will receive an HTTP error code. This will prevent unauthorized viewers from downloading your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
