Our new release VIMP 5.7 offers you a further option for embedding media and the expansion of the webcam recording feature as well as other useful optimizations. Read below to find out what has changed.
Media Javascript Embed
With the Javascript embed code, we now offer you an alternative option for embedding VIMP videos on external websites. By default, videos in VIMP have always been embedded as iframes on other websites.
The advantage of Javascript embeds lies in the seamless integration of the player into the embedding website. In contrast to the iframe embed, the player is located directly in the DOM of the website and can therefore be styled more individually, just like any other element of the website.
On the other hand, cookie-free embedding is possible with the Javascript embed. This means that your access permissions will continue to apply even after the upcoming deactivation of third-party cookie support by browser manufacturers.
Further information on Javascript embedding can be found in our FAQ.
Webcam Stream Recording
With VIMP version 5.7, we have completely revised webcam recording. The main new feature is that the stream is now transmitted directly to the server during recording, which means that even very long recordings are now possible (previously the maximum recording length depended on the main memory of the client computer).
The new “Webcam Stream Recording” component is activated by default after updating to the new version and offers you and your editorial team an even better VIMP experience.
The previous webcam recording component will remain in VIMP for a limited time, but is now disabled by default (“Webcam Recording” setting item) and will be completely removed in one of the future VIMP releases.
Recursive deletion of categories
Categories can now be deleted recursively, including their subcategories. A second option is available for this in the options menu of the corresponding category. With this new action, you can, for example, remove intermediate levels of categories without also deleting the underlying subcategories.
Further innovations and important notes
In addition to the features presented here, VIMP 5.7 of course offers you a range of other improvements in various areas, such as the option to create client-specific menu items or other housekeeping functions that both improve the performance of your video platform and make your work with VIMP easier through automation.
