      How to create a rental video

      Rental videos offer a cost-effective way to monetize your evergreen content year-round. With one upload, you can generate revenue on demand. This guide will walk you through creating a rental, uploading your videos, and managing subtitles.

      1. Creating a Rental Video

      1. Access the Rental Feature

        • Navigate to the Video Rentals option in your menu.
        • Click on Create Rental.

      2. Enter Rental Details

        • Title: Provide a clear title (e.g., “Doraemon – Season 1” or “7 Samurai”).
        • Description: Write a brief description to help promote and sell your content.
        • Cover Image: Upload an image to visually promote your rental.
        • Price: Set the rental price (please note that we take a 30% commission).
        • Rental Duration: Choose a duration for how long the user can access the video after their first view (we recommend 7 days).

      3. Finalize Rental Setup

        • Review your details and click Save to create your rental.

      2. Uploading Video Files

      1. Add Videos to Your Rental

        • Click Add Video.
        • Enter a title for the video file.
        • Upload the video file according to the following recommended specifications:
          • File Format: MP4 or MOV
          • Resolution: 1080p
          • Video Bitrate: 5 Mbps or higher
          • Audio Bitrate: 192 Kbps or higher
          • Frame Rate: 30 FPS

      2. Save and Process

        • After uploading, click Save.
        • Your video will begin processing. The processing time depends on the video’s length and file size.

      Note: You may add multiple videos to a single rental. However, the rental price applies to all videos within that rental. If you want to rent individual episodes (instead of a season pass), you will need to create a separate rental for each episode.

      3. Managing Subtitles

      1. Access Subtitle Settings

        • Once a video is processed, click Edit on the video.
        • Navigate to the Subtitles section.

      2. Add Subtitles

        • Click Add Subtitle.
        • Select Languages:
          • Choose the current language of the video.
          • Select the target language for your subtitles.
        • Choose Your Method:
          • Generate Automatically: Use our AI-powered tool to generate subtitles.
          • Upload File: Manually upload your own VTT subtitle file.
        • If you opt for AI generation, wait for the process to complete, then toggle Publish to make the subtitles available.

      3. Editing Subtitles

        • You can download generated subtitle files to review and update them manually if needed.

      4. Final Steps

      • Review: Double-check all the rental details, video uploads, and subtitle settings.
      • Publish: Your rental video is now live on your profile and available for rent on demand.
