Local Upload Workflow

This workflow is supported for both video and audio. It only requires access to a VME Online system. Note that this workflow is not recommended for large-scale use, since the Content Engine is not optimized for managing large volumes of media data. It is primarily intended for small scale, casual use.

Publishing media in this workflow consists of the following steps:

1. Content Studio user creates a video or audio content item.

2. Content Studio user uploads a video or audio clip from his/her local machine.

3. The Content Engine sends the URL of the uploaded video or audio clip to the VME Online system

4. VME Online retrieves the video or audio clip from the Content Engine.

5. VME Online transcodes the retrieved video or audio clip into the required web formats.

6. VME Online updates the transcoding status of the content item in the Content Engine.

7. VME Online sends the transcoded video/audio clips to the required location (a content delivery network, for example).

8. VME Online returns the URLs of the transcoded clips, key frames and so on to the Content Engine.

9. The Content Engine updates the content item with the returned data.
