Appending 30-second video to end of another video

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

• Using Brightcove SSAI (Server-Side Ad Insertion), you can inject a clip (like your promo) as if it were an ad pod.

• This approach lets you drop promos in dynamically without editing the source video.

• Useful if you want different promos for different audiences, or if you need to swap them frequently.

3. Custom Player Plugin

• If you want it to always feel like the promo is part of the video, you could build a Brightcove Player plugin that automatically plays a designated promo clip after any given video.

• This gives you centralized control without having to alter your video library.
