Configure Video Settings
You can now deliver high quality, short-form videos without worrying about byte size or bloated web pages. Image and Video Manager automatically creates and delivers optimized videos with the correct bit-rate, resolution, and format based on your customer's device.
Before you begin
You open Policy Manager when you want to
create, edit, or push policies to staging or production. A policy in Image and Video
Manager is a set of criteria applied to a video. These criteria may contain different
quality settings.
The Event Viewer in Control Center records Image and Video Manager - Policy Manager events and details.
When you
manage Image and Video Manager policies, there are 2 types of policies you can
manage:
- The default policy: Image and
Video Manager applies the default policy unless a request includes a
parameter indicating a valid custom policy name. The default policy contains
the default settings that determine how Image and Video Manager generates
derivatives for the policy set. The default policy appears in the Policies
section after you after you open Policy Manager, select a contract and a
policy set, and click Manage Policies. You can edit the default policy.
- A custom policy: You can create and edit custom policies for videos to apply different quality and resolution settings. Once you've defined your policies, use Image and Video Manager parameters to associate the correct policy to each image or video request.
Note: Image and Video
Manager does not optimize videos that go over 5 minutes in duration, 256 MB in
size, or 3.7 M in pixel area (1920x1920). This limits the videos to a 1080 pixel
resolution.
