- What is the difference between an Asset and a File?
- A file only contains information about itself, whereas an asset can contain information relating to multiple copies of the same underlying media file.
Â
- What file types are supported?
- Overcast supports a vast array of formats.
Â
- Can I bulk update the metadata on multiple assets at once?
- Yes. Please see Ingest for more information.
Â
- How many versions of an asset can I create?
- You can make unlimited versions of an asset and you can copy them to different projects if you like.
Â
- Is it possible to upload a new version of an asset?
- Yes. New versions can be uploaded. If they have the same title, they will have a (2) after the name. You can manage versions by grouping them together. To group them together:
Â
- Click on the asset until the green border is illuminated
- Drag the asset and place it on top of the other version
- Unclick the mouse. You will see a small v1 and v2 appear in the thumbnail metadata indicating that they are now versioned together.
