Is there way to append a short video to the end of another video. We want to add short 30-second self promos to the end of our regular videos. Right now, we manually do this during the editing process. I was hoping there was a more automated way to do that in the Brightcove.

Yes — you can automate this, but Brightcove itself doesn’t have a built-in “append video” button like an editor would. You have a few options depending on how automated you want things to be:

1. Brightcove Social / Dynamic Delivery Playlists

  • You can set up playlists or end screens so that after one video finishes, your 30-second promo auto-plays.

  • This doesn’t physically merge the two files, but from the viewer’s perspective, it feels like one continuous experience.

  • This is the most "Brightcove-native" way, since it uses existing features without re-encoding.

2. Server-Side Playlist Stitching

3. Custom Player Plugin
