If my videos are scattered around and not in folders or tagged, whats the best option to isolate them to track insights on them as a group?
Looking for best way to isolate different videos to track metrics
Best answer by Andy Hartono
I'm not sure how scattered your videos are, but there's no perfect way to track them without some level of organization. That said, I’d recommend starting by implementing a proper tagging system—whether for existing videos or, at the very least, for new ones moving forward.
Tags remain one of the most powerful metadata tools for classification, making it easier to track video insights as a group. Beyond analytics, a well-structured tagging system also enhances searchability, categorization, and content discovery, ensuring long-term benefits beyond just tracking.
As a short-term solution, you can use Brightcove's Custom Report Analytics (Report Generator) to track scattered videos.
- Select the videos manually and add their video IDs to generate a grouped report.
- You can schedule and save reports to automate the process moving forward.
This will give you a structured way to analyze insights, while implementing better metadata practices for long-term efficiency. Let me know if you'd like further guidance!
