Original files management in Screening Rooms

When you upload files to a Screening Room, Mnemonica checks the properties of each file to verify that it complies with streaming standards.

If the file format matches streaming standards, Mnemonica takes no action. The asset is immediately available for indexing or streaming. If the file does not match streaming standards, an encoding process runs.

At any time, Team Members can decide how a Room deals with the original files that are not streamable. There are two choices:

• Delete them when the encoding is complete.
• Keep them in the Room.

To choose, open the Room Settings window and turn the Keep originals switch on or off. If the switch is on, Mnemonica stores the original uploaded files with their streaming versions.

In a Room, a rosette icon in the top right corner of the media card shows that the asset has an original file.

To get the media details, click the info button in the lower-left corner of the media card.

The complete file metadata is on the Player page, in the "Media Info" tab.

Managing originalsCopy Anchor Link

When Mnemonica stores original files, you can:

• Keep them for further use or as an on-the-cloud backup.
• Download them.
• Send them via Box.
• Delete them.

Original files are separate assets. You can manage them independently from their streaming proxy version. To download assets or add assets to a Box, specify in the dialog if the action is for the Proxy files, the Original files, or both.
