Give every live video the metadata it is missing

Every morning, WebRun opens Brightcove Studio, walks the videos currently live, checks each one for a description, tags, required custom fields, and a poster image, opens a Trello card with the fix list per video, and logs the audit in Airtable so library quality is tracked.

In short

How do I find Brightcove videos with missing metadata?

Every morning, WebRun opens Brightcove Studio, reviews every video currently live, and finds the ones missing a description, tags, a required custom field, or a poster image. It opens a Trello card with the fix list per video and logs the audit in Airtable, so the library stays searchable.

  • Untitled and untagged videos are caught the morning they go live
  • Every fix arrives as a card naming the exact missing field
  • Library completeness is tracked day by day in Airtable

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens studio.brightcove.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Brightcove - audit live video records
    brightcove.com
    WebRun in Brightcove: audit live video records
    WebRun opens Brightcove to audit live video records.
    • Open Brightcove Studio and filter the media library to videos that are live
    • Open each video record and check whether it has a description written
    • Check the tags on each video, and flag any with none or with a single generic tag
    • Check your required custom fields are filled in on every live video
    • Check that a poster image is set rather than an auto-generated frame
    • Note which playlists each incomplete video sits in, so the most visible gaps come first

    Done when Every live video has been checked and its missing fields recorded.

  3. 2
    Trello - card the fixes per video
    trello.com How to Automate Trello
    WebRun in Trello: card the fixes per video

    • Open a Trello card for each video with something missing
    • Put the video title and the exact gaps in the card: description, tags, custom field, or poster
    • Link straight to the video record in Brightcove so the fix is one click away
    • Put videos sitting in a live playlist at the top of the board
    • Leave the editing to a producer. WebRun never changes a video record itself

    Done when Every incomplete video has a Trello card naming exactly what is missing.

    airtable.com How to Automate Airtable
    WebRun in Airtable: log library completeness

    • Keep the history so the completeness of the library can be seen improving

    Done when Today's library completeness row is written to Airtable.

Questions, answered

Will it write descriptions and tags itself?

No. WebRun never edits a video record in Brightcove. It names exactly what is missing on a Trello card and your producer writes the copy, so the library keeps your own voice.

Which videos does it check?

Videos currently live in your media library, checked for a description, tags, your required custom fields, and a set poster image. Inactive and archived videos are skipped.

How does it decide what to fix first?

Videos sitting in a live playlist go to the top of the Trello board, because those are the ones viewers actually reach through your site or app.

Put this on autopilot.
