Enhancing Digital Marketing Through Innovative Video Editing And Moderation: The YouShow Success Story
Youshow is a software as a service (SaaS) marketing system following the B2B model aiming at organizations selling products and services. It’s a subscription based system where the businesses can direct their client to advertise on their behalf in exchange for rewards. Such deals are provided by businesses for example – cafes and restaurants, where if the client’s video advertisement passes through all the checks and is validated they’re further rewarded .
Challenge
In any advertisement that revolves around video format, a lot of editing is required. YouShow aimed at providing a video editing platform from the website itself for customer’s ease.
To prevent sharing of profane/explicit data on client platforms, moderation systems were needed.
To check on how well an advertisement performs a video statistics page was necessary for improvements.
Solution
- A video editing platform was developed to provide total control over the video they recorded, allowing them to time their intros, outros, add video frames, adjust audio tracks to improve overall appeal. Further features such as video templates, animations for intros and outros, customization of background color, logo presentation and scaling were also added with the help of FFmepg.
- All the videos are monitored and controlled by admins namely – Master Admin and Content Moderators. A dashboard was developed listing the status of the video along with information if the video has passed all the safety checks.
- 3rd party APIs were used, such as Sightengine, Google – Speech-to-Text: Automatic Speech Recognition which are used for scanning user uploaded video to check it’s visuals, audio, metadata and doesn’t contains any nudity, weapons, offensive, violence etc type of content.
- The video is updated in real-time status after approval by either the moderators team or the 3rd party APIs.
- Once a draft video is submitted by the user, a push notification is sent to the moderation team on a messaging app like Whatsapp for review.
- Google Translate API was used for localization services as per user’s location and preferences.
- Postmark email service was used for notifying the business and users.
- YouShow was developed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) and is intended to work on any platform with a standards-compliant browser, including desktop and mobile devices.
Result
After the drafted video is uploaded it goes through various checks within a minute, the checks can be done via a moderation team within 30 secs and a video checking tool which verifies if the video is safe to share.
Realtime status update of a video via push notifications helped the Youshow moderators in keeping the track of uploaded video to follow up.
A Progressive Web App (PWA) platform was given to each registered business and users can access the App by scanning the QR code.
YouShow has multi-lingual support thanks to the usage of Google’s Translation API.
