More Control Over Your Videos

The way it has previously worked at IMVDb is users submit content, we moderate it, and then it goes up on the site. However, IMVDb users aren't all just anonymous people. Since launched our page management feature in late 2012, we've had more than 800 pages claimed on IMVDb. So today, we're really excited to announce that we are putting that data to good work and starting to give verified users more control over their own videos.

It works like this: if you are on a video page for a video that you were either the producer, director, or production company on (meaning you manage the page that has the credit for that video), you have special page admin privlidges and can:

  • Add credits directly to the video. This will bypass our moderation system and they'll show up right on the page after you enter them.
  • Verify credits. You could do this before, but now production companies can do this as well as producers and directors.
  • Add release data. If you added a video in production, you can add he URL and the release date, bringing your video from In Production to Released in the database.

To try it out, go to a video that has a producer, director, or production company credit for a person/company page you manage, and you'll see a little admin section:

And this is just the beginning. We have a lot of plans for this new ability for trusted users to add data to their own videos.
