SPOT SHOWING THE COMING UP NEXT VIDEOS

This is a mix of video and Jazler graphics. The video basically provides the intro and the background audio and video, and Jazler shows dynamically the overlying titles announcing the next video-clips. This can also be done with whatever you want (like shows etc). In JazlerGTE (Graphics Timeline Editor) we create a graphic template with the titles that will overlay the video. As we have already measured the durations, the first title on the video must appear 2.5 seconds after the video starts, so at the position offset of the timeline we put 2500(ms). In the timeline compositions you see that there are three cards that will show sequentally, each with about 5.5 seconds duration) announcing the next three songs in the playlist.

ATTACH THE GRAPHIC TO THE VIDEO

In jazler spots, we program the video to play every half hour, and then we go to the Timeline Templates. We select that the graphic “SUPERNEXT” will be attatched to this video. Everytime this video plays, the graphics overlaying it will play too.

ASSOCIATE EVERY VIDEO CLIP WITH A RATING

Each video has a parental guidance category, so you can show automatically with the associated video. In JAYZEE’s case, we have put this in movie trailers that play at the top of the hour. This is the parental guide logo “Suitable over 15” set by the Greek government. You are able to create as many parental guide templates as you want, and assosiate them with your videos.
