Publish to Social Media
Media Distribute allows you to create your package, including text and media, and then to manage the flow of assets and metadata through the transcode process and the delivery of the package to online, mobile, and social media platforms. The integration of these processes with the MediaCentral UX interface makes publishing your content to multiple outlets simple and efficient.
The workflow for publishing your package to a social media service such as Facebook depends on whether or not you want to start with an iNEWS story as your source. Working from an existing story, you can use the Social Message pane to select a profile, modify the content appropriately for a particular target, edit and add video, and then publish to one or more service.
If your MediaCentral configuration does not include iNEWS, the iNEWS options included in Media Distribute are disabled.
If you start with media located in Interplay Production, you can use the Social Message pane to select your profile, create a message to accompany your material, edit and add media content, and then deliver your message, images, and video to multiple channels in the right format for each platform.
You do not need iNEWS or Interplay Production to publish messages to social media services using Media Distribute.
You can also schedule the publication of your multimedia package or rundown stories to a social media service.
