Player Development

Our new framework for creating user experiences transforms the way you work with online video. With Brightcove, you can create reusable custom templates that weave together interactive applications from around the Web.

XML-Based Framework

XML-Based Framework

Easily create custom player templates using the XML-based Brightcove Experience Framework. Set design defaults, change layout and size, and integrate 3rd-party plug-ins to build a player template tailored to your own site experience.

  • Quickly create custom templates with Brightcove Experience Markup Language (BEML)
  • Edit template size and layout to fit your site
  • Specify the default design theme and styles for templates you create
 
Reusable Custom Templates

Reusable Custom Templates

Use the Publishing module to re-use and modify custom player templates you create with the Experience Framework. Developers can create a set of custom templates once, then make them available for designers and non-technical team members to use on an ongoing basis.

  • Re-use templates you create for as many players as you need
  • Add custom templates to your overall template library
  • Update design elements for custom templates in the styles editor as you would with out-of-the-box templates
 
Player Plug-Ins

Player Plug-Ins

Enhance your Brightcove 3 player with 3rd-party components such as ratings and comments widgets, chat modules, and video analytics services. Create templates that feature these components and can be re-used across your site.

  • Integrate 3rd-party plug-ins directly into the player templates you create
  • Use plug-ins to enable richer functionality, from analytics to integrated chat
  • Decrease development time for creating rich, contextual user experiences
 
Widgets

Widgets

Go beyond video players and use the Framework to build widgets of any size and shape to display playlists or surface metadata. Use these widgets to complement your site navigation and make video more accessible.

  • Create non-video widgets that complement your site
  • Make your own custom widget templates part of your standard workflow
  • Access video metadata to create playlist navigation elements for your content
