Videos
Supertape automatically syncs your videos, and provides you with video smart links to share with fans, to get them watching across all of your platforms.
How videos syncing works
Finding videos on your platforms
After connecting a videos platform, we’ll import all of your videos from it. After that, we’ll sync with it nightly to add new videos and remove any you’ve deleted.
Adding videos to your website
When a new video is found on a platform, we’ll try to match it to an existing video on your site by ISRC, length, and name. If we can’t, we’ll create a new video.
Setting details on your videos
Each platform provides different details about your video, so when a platform knows something about your video that we don’t, we’ll apply it first-come-first-serve.
Reviewing your videos
Sometimes the details we get from a platform may be a little off, or may be wrong entirely. So it’s always a good idea to review your videos to make sure everything looks good.
- Image - The video’s image. Should be high resolution.
- Name - The video’s title. Keep it formatted exactly as it appears on platforms.
- URL slug - The unique part of the video’s URL. ex:
/videos/your-video
- Type - The type of video it is (Music Video, Performance, etc.). Set by Supertape initially.
- Duration - The length of the video’s runtime.
- Release date - The date the video was released. Determines its order in your inventory.
- ISRC - The International Standard Recording Code for the video. Important for matching.
- Info - The video’s description, credits, or any other information you’d like to share.
- Platforms - The Platforms where fans can purchase the video.
