This FAQ explains how your media database should be structured and optimally prepared for import into your Mediartis account. See FAQ “Import Media“.
Setting Up the Master Folder
- Create a master folder.
- Inside the master folder, create subfolders for each Contact using their names (identical to their profiles).
- Add media files to the dedicated Contact folders.
- Media names need not include the contact name.
Completing the Import Template
- Download the Excel Media Import Template here or in Mediartis / Media / Import Media.
- Save the template at the root of your master media folder.
Complete the template with:
- First and last names of corresponding Contacts.
- As much information as possible for each media for optimal search results after import. Provide tags for data not proposed by existing Mediartis data fields in the template.
- List of media files to import – 1 file per line (Refer to FAQ ‘Generate Media PATHS’ for step-by-step instructions on exporting this data by batch).
- Specific file *PATH for each media (Refer to FAQ ‘Generate Media PATHS’ for step-by-step instructions on generating PATHS by batch).
Note: File PATHS correspond to the directory paths leading to the media files from the root folder.
Compressing the Master Folder into a Zip File
- Select the Master Casting Folder
- Right click and select “Compress DATABASE NAME”
Once your folder is compressed into a Zip you’re ready to import.
