Put your content's artists, rights holders and technical distributors in the spotlight with our casting sheets!
To create a casting file, go to the menu tab > CATALOG > Cas & Crew. This is where you'll find all the castings you've created, and where you can search for, edit, delete or create new ones.
For each casting file you create, a dedicated page is generated on your platform:
In addition to information on the artist, it also lists all the content in which the artist appears.
If you haven't yet created a listing, click on +Create new casting
Like every page of your platform, casting pages can be translated into multiple languages:
- Add a language = click and select the language you want.
- Delete a language = Find the language you want to delete and click . This will delete any translations you have already entered for this language.
- Change the default language for this casting sheet = check the button located below the default language you want.
1. The internal title of the casting
Give a title to your casting that will be displayed in your back office.
2. The friendly URL of the casting
The friendly URL is automatically generated from the title given to the content with dashes between each month. This URL will be the one of the content on the platform. You can leave this field empty and a URL will be generated.
For more information on friendly URLs, read our dedicated article.
3. Languages
The languages in which the casting is available.
4. Name
This is the name that will be displayed of the catsing displayed on your platform. If you use languages that do not have the same alphabet for example, you can enter a different name for different languages. Otherwise, you only have to enter the name in the default language field.
5. Biography
The biography is displayed on the screen of a user only when he goes to the casting page.
6. Illustration
Depending on the design choices made for your platform elements > PROJET > PLATFORM > Layout, different thumbnail formats can be displayed.
To best control what is displayed to your users, it's ideal to upload all 4 formats: banner, thumbnail, poster and round.
Please note: please respect the maximum cumulative size limit of 8MB for illustration images.
For example: if you want to offer 4 different illustration formats in two languages, you'll need to optimize your 8 illustrations so that they don't exceed 2MB each.
If you don't have suitable illustrations, you can upload an image that will be automatically resized. To guarantee the best experience for your users, whatever their connection and support, we encode 3 formats for each of your illustrations (low, medium and HD quality).
7. Filmography / Associated contents
If you have associated a casting with a content (whether as an actor, director, producer, author) the filmography of this cast will be displayed here. To link casting with contents go to the content edition page.
8. Variables
The variables are linked to the setting of widgets on your platform. For more information, read our dedicated article.
