Short-Form Video (SFVOD)

Prev Next

The Short-Form Video (SFVOD) feature enables the curation of short-form video content within trays on any page of the platform.

This functionality is currently supported through the following modules:

  • VL Tray
  • Video Detail
  • Series Page (Show Detail Module)

Currently, the clips used in these modules include both series-based content and sports videos.


Tray Curation (VL Tray)

To set up this feature, add the "VL Tray" module. In Edit mode, configure the following:

  • Content Selection: Choose between "Programmatically Generated" or "Manually Generated."
  • Content Type: Select "Clips."
  • Programmatic Selection: The tray is automatically populated with a curated mix of content.
  • Manual Selection: Clips can be searched and manually curated based on specific requirements. A "Clip" badge will be displayed next to the video title.

Tag-Based Filtering

Two distinct tags have been introduced: episode-clip and sport-clip.

  • To curate only series episodes, apply the "episode-clip" tag.
  • To curate only sports content, apply the "sport-clip" tag.
  • If no tags are specified, the tray will display a balanced mix of series and sports content.
  • A limit can be applied to define the maximum number of items displayed in the tray.
