2. Create Channels and Group Your Content


Utilize Custom Folders: One of the best ways to keep your film content organized is by creating custom folders within your cinema portfolio. This allows you to categorize your videos based on themes, genres, or projects. Using channels allows for Schools to organize each film class separately. By grouping your content, you can streamline navigation and enhance the find-ability on your platform.


For instance, you can have channels for behind-the-scenes, filmmaker spotlight, classrooms, program types, events, or team meetings. This promotes efficient communication and helps with task management and tracking progress.


3. Add Content, Securely, and Upload Asynchronously


Add content to your platform securely and with peace of mind as you upload files asynchronously for a seamless experience. With Montage's advanced security measures, you can control who can access your content and ensure it remains protected.


You can also add contributors to different channels, allowing them to view and edit specific content. This allows for a more efficient workflow and ensures that sensitive information is only shared with those who need it.


Upload files asynchronously to improve user experience by allowing them to continue interacting with the application while the files are uploaded in the background. This method enhances efficiency and responsiveness, providing a seamless workflow for users.


4. Package Your Content With Metadata


Tag Your Videos: Another helpful strategy is tagging your videos with relevant keywords. This makes it easier to search and find specific videos within your portfolio. For example, if you have a horror film folder, you could tag it with keywords like "scary," "horror," and "thriller."


Package your content with metadata to enhance discoverability and organization. Metadata provides crucial information about your content, such as tags, descriptions, cast and crews, and filmmakers, helping users find and navigate through your material efficiently.



5. Customize Your Video Experience


Montage's flexible customization options allow for a seamless transition from your brand to your content.


Personalize Your Video Viewing Experience by customizing colors, logos, and organization profiles to match your unique style and brand identity of your film schools. Tailor your video content for a distinctive and professional look that resonates with your audience.




6. Spotlight Priority Content In The Hero


Spotlight priority content in the hero section to capture attention and effectively engage students. Utilize high-quality images to entice future students and showcase current students' content. This will allow you to have a branded channel while making a strong visual impact.


Give binge-watchers a chance to explore the newest releases, titles, and loglines, discover details, and indulge in movie time. Utilize pagination bars in the carousel to elegantly present content with a timer feature.




7. Stream With A Purpose


Binge-watchers are given a robust cinema portfolio with a sleek Netflix-style design, engaging movie rails for easy navigation, and striking hero highlights to showcase top content - all seamlessly integrated into one powerful and user-friendly feature for an immersive viewing experience.
