This video demonstrates how to set up the integration between Kaltura and 3Play Media, as
well as the automatic workflow to create captions and subtitles for your Kaltura content.
3Play Media has an end-to-end integration with Kaltura.
This integration allows you to transfer your media files directly from your Kaltura account
to your 3Play Media account for processing.
After your files have been processed, captions can be automatically sent back to your Kaltura
Management Console, or KMC, and published through a caption-enabled Kaltura player.
To set up the integration, you must first link your 3Play account with your Kaltura account.
This is a one-time process.
To do this, log in to your Kaltura account, click on the Settings tab, then click the
Integration Settings tab.
Your account information will be displayed here.
Keep this page open and open a new browser window.
In the new browser, log in to your 3Play Media account and navigate to the Upload from Linked
Accounts page by clicking on Upload, then Upload From Linked Accounts.
Click on the Kaltura tab.
This brings you to the Upload Credentials page.
Copy your Kaltura account information, including the Partner and Sub Partner IDs and the
Administrator and User Secrets, and paste them into the appropriate fields on the Upload
Credentials page.
Check the boxes next to Postback Data and Tag Based Auto Upload if you intend to fully utilize
the automatic captioning workflow.
Both of these options will be explained later in this video.
In the Name field, you can enter anything--
for example, Kaltura Demo--
and click Save.
You will now be directed to an Upload page where your Kaltura videos will be displayed.
If you like, you can begin uploading videos from your Kaltura account for processing.
But to set up the full integration, go back to your KMC and click on the Content tab.
This will bring you to the Manage page.
On the left side of the page, in the Categories section, click Edit.
Hover your cursor over All, and a plus symbol appears.
Click this plus symbol, and a pop-up menu appears that says Add New Category.
Name this category 3play and click Add.
Then click Done Editing.
Videos added to this category will automatically be uploaded to 3Play for processing.
To add videos to this category, simply drag and drop your Kaltura content
into the 3play category.
You will receive notification emails confirming successful uploads.
Also, a category called 3play_processed will automatically be created, and when videos are
processed, they will be automatically added to this category.
Note that these videos will be processed for standard turnaround, which is
four business days.
If you need rush or expedited turnaround, you'll need to upload those videos from your 3Play
Media account.
This will be discussed towards the end of this video tutorial.
Now let's go over Tag Based Auto Upload and Postback Data.
Go back to your linked Kaltura account and click on Edit Credentials.
Then, check the box next to Tag Based Auto Upload.
By enabling this option, 3Play Media will know to check the category 3Play to upload these
videos for processing.
Check Postback Data if you want captions automatically sent back and added to videos in
the 3Play category in your KMC.
Click Update to save your changes.
To get the full benefit of the automated workflow with the Postback Data option, you need
to create a caption-enabled video player.
To do this, go into your KMC, click on the Studio tab, and click New Player-Single Video.
First, name the player under Player Details in the Basics menu.
Select the Features tab on the left and then click Subtitles and Transcriptions.
Next, choose the caption's appearance, either Captions on Video-- the captions will be
overlaid on top of the video--
or Captions for Accessibility--
the captions will be displayed underneath the video.
Click Save Changes.
Once you have linked your accounts, you can alternatively upload videos from your Kaltura
account within the 3Play application.
You may opt for this if you want to upload your videos for rush or expedited service.
To do this, navigate to the My Linked Accounts page by clicking Upload, then
Upload From Linked Accounts.
On the same row where your Kaltura account is listed, click Select Files to Upload.
You will now see your Kaltura videos located on this page.
Select videos that need to be uploaded.
You can select the full page of videos showing for upload, simply by clicking the button to the
left of Preview.
Note that each batch of selected videos will be uploaded to a single destination folder.
Once you've selected your files, click the Upload button at the top right hand
corner of the page.
You will see a count of the number of files selected.
A pop-up menu will appear, containing a list of previously created folders.
Select a folder to upload the videos to.
To create a new destination folder, click Create.
New Folder.
Another pop-up menu will appear, where you can name the new folder.
Once you've named the folder, click Create.
Select the turnaround time--
either standard, rush, or expedited turnaround.
Click Upload, and your files will begin processing.
