Adding the Viz Content Pilot Panel

In order to be able to select videos from Viz Media Engine from within Content Studio, you need to enable a special research panel called Viz Content Pilot. To enable this panel:

  1. Start Content Studio.

  2. Select View > Configure research panels... from the Content Studio menu.

The Viz Content Pilot panel contains the Viz Content Pilot Newsroom Component. You can use it to:

  • Browse video content stored in a Viz Media Engine.

  • Select the video clip you want to add to your content item.

  • Decorate the selected video clip with template-based graphics.

For basic instructions on how to do these things, see Working With Media Content Items. For more detailed information about the Newsroom Component, see Newsroom Integration.

You can only add the Viz Content Pilot panel on Windows PCs where the Viz Content Pilot Newsroom Component is installed. If you are using Content Studio on a different platform or you do not have the Newsroom Component running on your PC, you can still browse VME video content using Viz Media Studio, and add video clips to content items by drag-and-drop. You cannot, however, add template-based graphics to video clips.
