Example rule: Export to a YouTube channel

  • The Data Mover Engine must be registered with the YouTube account that you used to create the YouTube channel.
  • Custom metadata must be added if you want to export the description, category, or privacy status together with the asset into your YouTube channel. If not, the export file name displays as the default clip title and privacy status is automatically set as Unlisted.
To create a rule that exports assets into your YouTube channel automatically, do to the following:
  1. Log in to the GV STRATUS Control Panel application with administrator privileges.
  2. In the GV STRATUS Control Panel application, click General | Rules.
  3. Click Add. Rule Editor settings open.
  4. In the Rule Type drop-down list select Export.
  5. In the Name field type in a name for the rule you are configuring.
  6. In the Description field type in a description for the rule you are configuring.
  7. In Rule Options settings, specify the rule behavior.

    1. Select the Visible in STRATUS UI checkbox if you want to trigger the rule via context menu in the Asset List panel.
    2. Select when the rule is applied to each asset.
      • Execute rule only once per asset: The rule is applied once per asset. The Rules Engine uses data stored in the asset's ExecutedByRules metadata field to determine if the rule has been applied to the asset. If it has been applied, the Rules Engine does not apply it again, even if the rule criteria still match for the asset.
      • Execute every time rule conditions apply: The rule can be applied multiple times per asset, if the asset matches rule conditions multiple times.
    3. Select the condition when the rule is applied to each asset.
      • Apply rule on growing file: The rule is applied to all files, including those that are still recording.
      • Apply rule on completed files: The rule is only applied to files that have finished recording.
    4. Select whether the rule copies or moves the asset. If you select Move, after the rule transfers the asset, it removes the source asset from the GV STRATUS system.
  8. In Rule Notification settings, specify the notification behavior, if desired.

    1. Enter email addresses to which emails are sent. Separate multiple email addresses with a comma.
    2. Select one or more notification types:
      • Delivery Failed: Emails are sent if the rule operation fails.
      • Delivery Completed: Emails are sent if the rule operation succeeds.
    In order to send emails, the email server must be configured in Workflow Engine settings.
  9. In Export Filename Format settings, set the convention for the name of the exported file.

  10. In Frequency settings, specify how often the Rules Engine triggers the rule.
  11. In Export Options settings, configure the format of the exported files.

    1. For Transcode Format, select Native Proxy Format under the STRATUS section. When a Transcode Format is selected, Native Format is automatically set to None.
    2. For Metadata Format, select the YouTube format if you want to export metadata with the asset.

      If none is selected, no metadata will be exported into YouTube. Custom metadata for YouTube works by editing the YouTube metadata XSLT file. If you need a customized transform for your workflow, contact Grass Valley Support.

    3. If the metadata format is selected, then browse and select the Metadata-Destination Path of the metadata XSLT file.
  12. In Destination settings, define the YouTube destination path.

    For Export rules, the destination must be a location that is external to the GV STRATUS system and not managed by the GV STRATUS system. An external location is not visible in the GV STRATUS application Navigator panel.

    You can set the YouTube channel for exports as follows:
    • Destination Path: youtube://<YouTube account>

    You must register the YouTube account in the Data Mover Engine setting of GV STRATUS Control Panel before entering the destination path.

  13. In Rule Conditions settings, specify the condition the Rules Engine looks for before exporting to the YouTube channel.

  14. In the Select items when drop down list, select ALL of the conditions below are met.
  15. For each condition, click the Add Condition button and select from lists to define the condition.
  16. Click Save.
Next, enable the rule.
