Xinet® Video Reel Generator for the Video product lets you
create in-house video reels from existing files—such as images, layout documents, HTML files, audio and multiple video file formats—to maintain greater control over the creative process.

Feature Overview

Generating video reels in-house can save both time and resources for organizations that frequently outsource this type of work to a production house. Whether you want to create a video deck as a presentation to pitch new business, or make an agency reel to advertise your scope of services, this feature is a straight-forward, easy-to-use tool for the creative team, and requires no background in video reel production. With existing assets available for repurposing, you gain greater control over the cost and time it takes to complete these projects, without using any additional video editing software. Video Reel Generator comes standard with Video for WebNative Suite.

 

Build Video Reels In-house

With access to a WebNative Suite server, local and remote users can generate video reels by simply placing videos, images, and a variety of other supported files into a shopping basket to create a storyboard, and selecting a range of output options from the Video Reel Generator window. Any reel can include a soundtrack by adding an audio file. Additional applications, original source files and special training are not needed to use this versatile feature.

Select Options for Output

A variety of options are available when building video reels, including the flexibility to select exactly which sections of a file will be used, and for how long. A storyboard can contain common file formats, including videos, images, Web pages, layout documents, and PDF files.
To select scenes, images or audio for a new reel, a user can choose from any or all of the following:

  • Videos—users select elements based on key frames or time code; users can also select whether or not to transition at the end of a clip, such as fading or holding the final frame for a specified amount of time

  • Images—users specify an exact amount of time for the image to be displayed

  • Documents and Web pages—users select a specific page, a range of pages, or any combination of pages to be displayed in the video, as well as the length of time each page will be shown

    • Within the Video Reel Generator window, files can be added, deleted or reordered. Files can also be duplicated to allow a document, or different sections of a document, to be used multiple times within one reel. Once generated, image previews can be displayed to see an inventory of all assets used in the reel.
    Output options can be specified, such as where on the WebNative Suite server the video reel should be saved, its resolution set, and quality. Three default output formats are available—Flash Video, QuickTime Video and Windows Media. Audio files can be attached or replaced, and a simple checkbox offers the option of looping the sound track for the duration of the video reel.
