Requirements: Enterprise subscription
To set up Automation inside of CaptionHub, first you need to create an Automation template.
- First, navigate to Automation, available from the drop-down at the top right of the screen
- Enter a name for your Automation template in the “Template name” box, and click the “Create template” button
- You’ll then see a two of tabs, which you’ll need to fill in, according to what you’d like to automate

Project source:
- API or UI – select this if the source for your media will be via API or UI upload

- “All new media” will automatically import any new video you upload to Brightcove into CaptionHub. The timestamp for this is taken from the point at which the automation was made active.
- “Tagged” media will import all videos which match the tag you define. You can set up powerful workflows with this option, triggering different workflows with different tags.

Note that any videos imported via Automation will automatically have a
captionhub tag added to them in your video platform, to show that they’ve been processed by CaptionHub. In other words, if you import a video via Automation template and you then delete that video in CaptionHub, it will not be automatically re-imported on account of the tag. You’ll need to remove the captionhub tag in your video platform before CaptionHub can re-import the video. Node view
The Node view feature in Automation provides a clear, visual representation of your workflows. As you customise your automation templates to meet your captioning requirements, Node view organises each step and connection into an intuitive, easy-to-navigate layout.
