Downloadable Video

The Downloadable Videos creative type lets you upload flash videos of your choosing to be downloaded by your affiliates for use in promoting your offers. After uploading your downloadable video, Trackfinity will automatically provide affiliates with a tracking link for your video, as well as a download link.

Uploading a Downloadable Video

Click the Click the Content category to display existing Content creative types. Next, click the View button from the actions dropdown menu to be taken to the page displaying available downloadable videos.

Click the Add Creative button to display a pop-up where you can set up your new video. Settings include:

  • Name - Enter a video name for your affiliates to see.
  • Video URL - Enter the URL for the video you are uploading.
  • Type - Choose whether this video is a Trailer, 30 Second Video, 2 Minute Video, or 5 Minute Video.
  • Thumbnail URL (Optional) - Enter a URL for your video's thumbnail preview image here.
  • Description (Optional) - Input a description of your video for your affiliates to see.
  • Tags (Optional) - Tag your uploaded content with a category of your choosing.
  • Enabled on - Choose a offer (or all offers) that you want this video to be available for.
  • Publish Date - Input the date you want this video to be available from.
  • Default Group - Select a creative group to categorize this video under.

Once you have defined all fields, click "Add Creative" to add your new video and it will appear in the "Downloadble Videos Creative" section, along with other available videos.

Displaying a Downloadable Video

Before your affiliates can include your new Downloadable Video in one of their promotions, you must first add a "SHOW" rule. To do so:

  1. Select "Add a new rule" from the video's Actions button.
  2. On the next page, click the Add Rule button.
  3. Select SHOW from the options dropdown

This will enable the video either for selected affiliates, commissions, and offers or all of them. Once you create a "SHOW" rule for a downloadable video, affiliates will be able to grab the linkcode for that video through their Creatives page.
