Update a single audio or video file

Use this procedure to:

• Update a single audio or video file that you've already uploaded. You can also use this procedure to update a file previously uploaded as part of a ZIP file.
• Add up to 7 caption files. (You must have uploaded at least 1 caption file when you uploaded the original media file.)
• Edit other metadata such as a thumbnail image and Chaptering XML.

To update a single audio or video file:

1. Wait at least 15 minutes after the initial upload before updating any media assets.
2. Go to https://mediaconsole.pearsoncmg.com/gcs/auth/ and login.
3. Select the Media Library tab.
4. Enter your search criteria.
   • Email: Enter an email address to find all assets associated with that email.
   • Keywords: Enter keywords to find the asset. Multiple keywords must be separated with commas. See Search by keyword or Reference ID for more details.

   

5. Select the Get Files button.

   The search results are displayed in the lower portion of the window.

6. Click an asset's Title to display its Media Object Info tabs.

   

7. Do any of the following on the Media Object Info tab:
   • Select the Replace Media button to replace your video/audio file.
   • Select the Metadata Edit button to update the metadata.
   • Add or replace a Thumbnail image and/or Chaptering XML Source File. Make sure to use Replace, not Delete, to replace a thumbnail image. If you do not add a thumbnail image, an image is automatically generated for you.
   • Add or replace Caption Files and edit the language of Caption Files. You can add a caption file only if at least 1 was uploaded with the original media file.

     Mandarin displays as "Unknown" in the closed caption menu when you preview your media through GCS; however, Mandarin does preview correctly on your live URL.
