This guide will explain in two steps how to add videos to artwork records in your database and how to embed them in your manual Private Views links.
Video requirements: For your video to be added to an artwork record in the database and then shared alongside the artwork in a private view, it must be hosted on either Vimeo or Youtube.
1. Copy the embed code
- Upload and find your video on Vimeo or YouTube.
- Click on the Share button (on Vimeo this is the paper aeroplane symbol).
- Click on the "< >" icon or go to 'Embed' in the pop-up window.
- Copy this code, you'll need it for the next step.
2. Add the link to the Artwork record
- Log into your Artlogic database.
- Go to Artworks and locate your chosen artwork record (it is not possible to perform an Update multiple for videos).
- Click on the 'pencil edit' icon to edit the artwork record.
- Navigate to the Images tab.
- Paste the copied link into 'Video embed code'.
- Save.
Allow people to play your artwork's video in your manual private view
To allow people to play the video when viewing a Private View in a browser, you need to select the relevant box in the Images tab of the Artwork record.
Warning: in order for videos to appear on manual Private Views, you need to re-save the Private View. To do this, simply go to your manual Private View (Artworks > Private Views > All), make a small change, like adding a space to a text field, and click the blue 'Save' button.
