Adding a publish social media rule

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 each asset.
   • Execute rule only once per asset or segment: 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 priority that the Rules Engine processes the rule, with the transfers and transcodes the rule controls, when there are multiple rules in a queue waiting to be processed.
   • Priority: High: Put this rule in a queue with other high priority rules and process through the high priority rule queue before any normal priority or low priority rules.
   • Priority: Normal: Put this rule in a queue with other normal priority rules and process through the normal priority rule queue after any high priority but before any low priority rules.
   • Priority: Low: Put this rule in a queue with other low priority rules and process through the low priority rule queue after any high priority or medium priority rules.
4. 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.

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.

1. Click Add location. The Location Selection dialog box opens.
2. Navigate to and select the desired location.

   You can select multiple locations in the Location Selection dialog box.

   For Transfer, Export, Custom, Archive, and Transfer to Avid rules, you can also select logical asset locations under Groups | Lost and Found.

   If desired, you can edit scope location path manually in the text box.

   This is the location that contains the files on which the rule operates. Every time the rule runs, it looks in this location to determine if there are any assets that match the rule conditions and then operates on the assets that match.
3. Click OK. The location is added to the Scope list.
4. For a location in the list, if you want the rule to operate on sub-folders as well, select Include Subfolders. When this is selected, if there are multiple directories under the selected location, the rule operates in each of the sub-directories.
5. Repeat these steps to add additional locations as desired.
6. To change a location in the list, click the Browse button
7. To remove a location from the list, click X.

1. Select one of the following options:
   • Metadata Change: The rule is constantly monitoring files in the “Scope” folder (and file types depend on the rule condition).
   • Periodically: Sets the number of minutes.
   • Daily: Sets the number of days.
   • Weekly: Sets the number of weeks.
   • Monthly: Sets the day of each month.
   • STRATUS UI only: The rule is only applicable when triggered by users via the context menu in Asset List of the STRATUS UI.
   For Daily, Weekly, and Monthly options, a Start Time setting opens. Set the day and time the rule is triggered for the first time.

1. For Native Format, select the interchange standard in which to publish. When a Native Format is selected, Transcode Format is automatically set to None and disabled.
2. For Transcode Format, configure as follows:
   • Select None: The published file is the same format as the source on the K2 storage system.
   • Select Native Proxy Format: The published file is the same format as the proxy on GV STRATUS system.
   • Select one or more transcode formats as follows:
     • Select a single format for the transcoder.
     • To use multiple formats from a single transcoder, select the formats for that transcoder.
     You cannot select multiple transcoders.

   When a Transcode Format is selected, Native Format is automatically set to None and disabled.

   The Transcode Format list is populated by the transcode profiles that you create and place in the transcode profile directory.

3. For Metadata Format, select as follows to additionally export the metadata file:
   • None: No metadata file is exported.
   • Social Media: The single metadata profile combines the metadata to be exported for all Social Media Platforms.
4. For Thumbnails - Marker, select as follows:
   • None: The export does not contain thumbnails.
   • Marker Thumbnail Quality - High: High: The export contains a full-resolution JPG thumbnail with no compression (100%).
   • Marker Thumbnail Quality - Medium: The export contains a full-resolution JPG thumbnail compressed 85%.
   • Marker Thumbnail Quality - Low: Low: The export contains a half-resolution JPG thumbnail compressed 70%.
   • Reference Thumbnail Quality - High: High: The export contains a key-frame marker with full-resolution JPG thumbnail of no compression (100%).
   • Reference Thumbnail Quality - Medium: The export contains a key-frame marker with full-resolution JPG thumbnail compressed 85%.
   • Reference Thumbnail Quality - Low: Low: The export contains a key-frame marker with half-resolution JPG thumbnail compressed 70%.
   Note: Some platforms such as Twitter, do not allow the publish of thumbnails as an additional option. While Facebook allows only one thumbnail to be published.
5. For Closed Caption Format, select as follows:
   • None: No additional Close Caption file is exported.
   • K2-SCC: Workflow Engine extracts CEA-608 information stored in Ancillary data (CEA-708) from the asset on the K2 system and exports to a file in SCC format.
   • K2-SRT: Workflow Engine extracts CEA-608 information stored in Ancillary data (CEA-708) from the asset on the K2 system and exports to a file in SRT format.
   • K2-TTML: Workflow Engine extracts CEA-608 information stored in Ancillary data (CEA-708) from the asset on the K2 system and exports to a file in TTML format.
   Note: Some platforms such as Twitter, do not allow the publish of Closed Caption information as an additional option. While Facebook supports the SRT Closed Caption files only.

The destination must be a location that is already configured in the Social Media Locations Configuration tab in GV STRATUS Control Panel.

Below is an example of conditions in the Rule Conditions section:

• ALL of the conditions below are met: Assets that match all conditions.
• ANY of the conditions below are met: Assets that match any condition.
• Custom: A Custom Expression field opens in which you can enter a custom expression.

Conditions and custom expressions are similar to those in GV STRATUS Advanced Search. Simple boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT are supported. Enter these operators in all capital letters.

• For each condition (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) click the Add Condition button and select from lists to define the condition.
• Click the X button to remove a condition from the list.

The is Empty setting and the period (.) mark are also supported when creating conditions. In case you want to use a ‘relative time’ (for example the asset ‘Modified Date’ is before 2 minutes ago) as a rule condition, you should not use rule triggers based on ‘Metadata Changes’ but use ‘periodically’ rule triggers only and enter a cycle time (for example 3, 4 or 5 minutes). This is because when a ‘relative time' matches the condition, but no metadata change happens at the same time, the rule will not trigger in your operation.

If a newly created custom metadata field is not available in the Add Condition dialog, restart the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.

• For each metadata, click the Add Metadata button and select from the drop-down list to select the metadata.
• Define the metadata value which will be added into the data field of the asset when the rule is applied to.
• Select whether to enter the metadata value at the start or the end of the rule workflow.
• Click the X button to remove a metadata from the list.

If a newly created custom metadata field is not available in the drop-down list, restart the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.

You can create new custom metadata by selecting Core | Metadata | Custom Metadata | Add in the GV STRATUS Control Panel.
