RECENT PRODUCT NEWS

Improved image format support (yes we are talking about TIFF)
Since November we support the file format TIFF, mainly used for high-quality raster type graphics. This allows you to upload for example artwork. Every uploaded TIFF will automatically get a thumbnail jpeg also.

Boilerplate text
This feature allows you to automatically add standard company information to your press releases. We will reach out to all customers about this feature and activate upon request. The boilerplate feature is for free.

Media Centre for Book Publishers
The Clipsource platform now also serves the book market that is getting increasingly digital. Media Centre for Books offers information, samples, previews, images and videos around book releases. Media Centre comes with a new feature, allowing journalists to place orders for different types of media.

THINGS YOU CAN EXPECT FOR 2020

Admin 2.0
2020 will be the year we build and deliver many of the backend features you have been asking for. It is a BIG project that influences your daily work. Therefore we have employed an external UX/UI expert to help us create a really modern and smooth Clipsource experience. The plan is to soft launch before summer.

VOD data
For many of you, the streaming business is about to become the most important revenue source. For viewers to find your content you should provide rich information about each episode. The more relevant texts, the better images and the more video you can offer, the higher your programs will rank in google and content discovery. Clipsource’s new VOD platform will help you automate the population marketing assets to your programs. The first generation to be launched in Q1.

Partner Communication
For many years we have helped customers share content with journalists and VIP:s. Now many of you have asked us to extend these services to sharing content with partners, such as advertisers, resellers and distributors. During 2020 we will launch super-slick tools to nurture your partner relations. Contact ola.scholander@clipsource.com if you want to know more.

Merry Christmas and a Great 2020!
