Edit video metadata

Suggest Edits


After uploading or analyzing the performance of a video, you may decide to make a video more interesting to your viewers by editing the metadata for the video. Metadata is descriptive information about a specific media asset, such as description, tags, and publish date.


Edit video metadata

Use the following steps to edit metadata fields for a media asset in your library:

  1. From your JWP dashboard Media Library, click the name of a video. The details page of the video appears.
  2. Click the title of the video to rename the video.

    💡

    Be sure to create enticing, accurate titles that engage your viewers and that are optimized for search (under 60 characters with highly searched keywords). By default, JWP uses the video filename. Special characters are removed from the filename.​

  3. On the Basic Information or Advanced Settings tab, update one or more metadata sections or fields. The tables below describe each metadata section and field.
  4. Click Save.

Section Description
Description Short explanation of the video content

This text can improve search engine optimization and video recommendations. To prevent having a description shortened in search engine results, limit descriptions to less than 100 characters.
Tags User-generated labels used to classify a video

You can add tags as single tags or as a comma-separated list:
  • Single Tag - Click Single tag, enter the tag, and click Add.
  • Multiple Tags - Click Multiple Tags, enter a comma-separated list of tags, and click Add.
    NOTE: You can also bulk manage tags using the Manage Tags feature in your library.

Tags are case-sensitive, and ending whitespaces are removed.

Tags can be used in several ways:
Content Type Type of media based on shared custom parameters

Customers with app config access can use content types to classify media by categories with common fields, such as movies, episodes, and live events.

For more information, learn how to add a content type.
Category Tier one, IAB video category predicted by machine learning

If no category can be predicted or the incorrect category is predicted, select the correct option from the dropdown menu.
Custom Parameters User-generated name-value pairs

As examples, custom fields can be used when setting cue points or storing legacy media IDs.

You can also set default custom parameters that are applied to all new videos uploaded through your JWP dashboard.
Author Name of the media creator

Enter a single author in the text field. This ensures that searches can be performed easily on the author name.
Media Page Permalink URL of the webpage where the video is published

If defined, when the video is shared from the player, the recipient will be referred to this URL.

If the Set Expiration Date is not selected, the video will remain published indefinitely.
