Video Library Guide

The video detail page works with Affino’s native video player as well as embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia.

The video player up top. You can switch between standard, cinema and full screen views. 

There’s extensive meta data for each video as Affino now auto-captures the runtime and thumbnails on upload. Affino uses the thumbnails provided by 3rd party video and also generates 3 potential thumbnails if you’re uploading video natively.

Each video detail also has Views, Comments and Sharing, Social Sharelines, Sponsor and Account showcasing together with bookmarking:

Initially Affino supports an on-screen campaign placement for the video detail and in the future (dependent on demand) we will roll out video ads.

We will also be rolling out video favoriting and playback in the near future.

Right from the outset we have smart recommendations on what videos to watch next, matching on the interests and metadata associated with the current video, and if the browser supports it, the user can have continuous playback of videos:

When the viewer scrolls down to view the comments, the video player jumps down and to the side so that it always remains on screen.
