Canto 5.7 Release
Smart Tags for Videos
Just like the existing feature, Smart Tags for Images, Canto will now be able to analyze videos and apply smart tags. Simply, open the preview window for the video and click on the Generate Smart Tags icon:
The time it takes to generate smart tags depends on the duration of the video.
Once the analysis is complete, the user will get a message notification in Canto and an email with additional details letting them know that the analysis is complete.
Transcribe Videos to Subtitles
In the Preview mode, click on the Transcribe Video icon to open the Video Transcription options:
In addition to the manual process, you will now see the automatic transcription option as well.
Make sure the language selected matches the language in the video.
Once the process is complete, the user will get a message notification in Canto and an email with additional details letting them know that the analysis is complete.
Watermark for Videos
A watermark can be applied to a video using the existing watermarks created in Canto. Navigate to the Digital Rights Management Section and just choose the watermark and the location for the watermark to be applied.
Facial Recognition for Videos
In addition to the current Facial Recognition feature for Images, Canto will now support Facial Recognition for Videos too.
In order for Facial Recognition for Videos to work accurately, it is required that Facial Recognition for Images should be enabled.
We recommend before analyzing videos, the images (portraits) of the people in the Video are uploaded and an index of the faces be built first, and only then run the Video Recognition service.
Custom Metadata Mapping
Canto now allows admins to define the mapping of IPTC/XMP/EXIF metadata information to the Custom Fields of their choice.
The names entered in Canto MUST match the actual IPTC/XMP/EXIF metadata name.
Date Formats
Users will now be able to choose different date formats.
Located under User Profile > Preferences, users will now be able to choose any date format from the supported 7 different types. Once set, the chosen date format can now be seen in Filters (Date Uploaded & Date Created), File Metadata, Usage History, and Comments.
Asset Request Updates
Users will now be able to approve or deny individual files in an Asset Request and will be able to set an expiration date for the approved request.
To do so, simply open a request, mouse over the thumbnail, and select the file you would like to Approve or Deny. When a file is selected, the action toolbox would display the Approve or Deny options:
Metadata Editor - Custom Fields Sections
The Metadata Editor now supports individual custom field sections. If Custom Fields have been categorized using sections, you can then add the Custom Field sections as a separate field box in the editor. Custom Fields that are not assigned to a section would exist in the Custom Field field box.
