Not Just Clip Titles - Clip-Based Branding and Promos |
Many facilities require clip-based branding and promo functionality on multiple channels simultaneously, each of which may have a different on-air look and show schedule. AutoClips will monitor multiple automation playlists and control graphics on multiple channels at the same time, thus eliminating programming errors and redundant, manual labor, while centralizing management and rules-based control of graphics elements.
Furthermore, with the ability to synchronize playback across multiple graphics devices, AutoClips makes it easy to turn ordinary clip based graphics elements into eye-catching integrated presentations.

AutoClips Intelligence |
As with PromoCrunch and ComingUps, AutoClips can tie into the station automation system to dynamically syncronize and control a wide variety of graphics elements and layouts whose content and behavior may change throughout the day due to programming rules or unexpected schedule changes.
AutoClips makes it easy to include "clip specific" titles or graphics as part of one-time or reoccurring promotional events. For example, you could have all videos shown on Halloween use a special font and animated backplate, without the need to create special titles for each individual clip.

Simple Setup and Proofing |
An operator uses the ClipTitler application to set up new graphic elements, tie them to a clip (or set of clips), and specify the window during which they are active. For example, to create titles for new video clips (i.e. music videos), the operator simply creates the title in the ClipTitler application, checks it on a Proofing Station to make sure it will appear as expected, and commits it for use on air.

Streamlined Workflow |
Most facilities have thousands of clips on hand. AutoClips' database-driven back end makes it easy to manage thousands of graphics elements across multiple channels.
The AutoClips Database contains all of the information for clip titles and other graphical elements, including content, scheduling information, and timing. The system will leverage any existing databases to the greatest possible extent, eliminating repetitive tasks, simplifying the process of adding titles to newly acquired clips, and helping ensure consistency.
