What is a Video Profile and How to Create One?

A video profile is where you determine in which options the content will be packaged. In this section, you will be deciding:

  • the name of the video profile,
  • the quality and the bitrate of the content output,
  • if a logo is required for the content that will be added within this video profile and if so, logo-related settings

3. Enter the name of your choice in the Video Profile Name area. When working with multiple platforms and channels, you will have numerous video profiles over time. Selecting video profile names based on the channel or content groups is recommended to differentiate them easily later while creating groups.

4. Select the quality of your choice in the Profile Preset area. 

5. If you want a logo on your video content that’ll be added to this video profile, select the Logo checkbox on the bottom right in this step. If you need to use the same video on different channels and with a different logo, you can add the same video content with the relevant video profile that contains the required logo. If you already have a logo on the video content, using the same logo is not recommended. If you don't want a logo on this video profile you can skip to step 7.
