Introduction
In the video that you create, there may be scenes that you want to show or skip depending on the audience watching. This can be configured easily using a data field and its related values. It is important to know how to work with a data library—specifically, creating data fields and values—before configuring this feature.
Following are the options for showing or skipping a scene:
| a. |
Showing a scene to everyone.
This is always the default option.
|
| b. |
Skipping a scene for everyone.
This is useful when you are still working on a scene and do not yet want to include it in the video that is shared.
When you skip a scene in a video, that scene is not included in the video that you share with your viewers.
|
| c. |
Showing a scene to a specific audience.
This is useful when you want to show a scene only to a specific audience.
For example: your viewer audience includes three membership tiers (silver, gold, platinum) and you want to show a specific scene only to gold members.
|
| d. |
Skipping a scene for a specific audience. This is useful when you don't want to show a scene to a specific audience.
For example: your viewer audience includes three age groups (Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennials) and you do not want to show a specific scene to Baby Boomers.
