Tracks

Introduction

Media with a kind of video may have one or more Tracks.

Tracks provide additional features which can be used by Players to provide a more engaging experience for your viewers:

• Subtitles

  • Text displayed on a screen that transcribes the spoken dialogue in a video or audio source.

• Chapters

  • Divides the source media into chunks and provides a brief descriptive title for each section.

• Thumbnail Track

  • Sequenced screenshots of a video source to enable a visual guide for rewinding and fastforwarding.

Subtitles, Chapters and Thumbnails are generated as .vtt files from the Tasks endpoint.
