We've updated our Product Updates page. That's the page where you can see all the latest new and enhanced features in Brightcove Video Cloud, as well as an historical list of all our features, with links to help topics that explain how to use them.
We've enhanced the Brightcove Smart Player feature to now support players that include a playlist. Smart Players enable you to automatically deliver your video in Flash or HTML5, depending on your viewer's device capabilities.
The full link to a Brightcove player can be quite long. Some applications, like Twitter and other social media platforms, can't handle very long URLs. To address this constraint, we've introduced shortened URLs for player links.
A new article in the Brightcove Developer Center, written by Brandon Aaskov of Brightcove's Professional Services group, presents a player plug-in you can use to control ad logic for long-form video. With ad-supported long-form video, you often want to use mid-roll ad requests.
If you want to monetize your mobile videos in an iPhone app, Apple's iAds ad network is the only way to go. We have a new article that describes how to integrate iAds into an iPhone app created using the Brightcove App SDK for iOS.
If you've been a Brightcove customer for a while, you may have noticed the higher video quality available when you create H.264 videos using Brightcove's Adaptive Encoding Engine. But what about your older videos?
We've got a new article on the Support site, Exporting a High Quality Source File Using Final Cut Pro, that covers our recommended best practices for using Apple's Final Cut Pro to create high quality source files for the video you upload into your Brightcove account.
