# Movies and Content Management for OTT Platforms | Vodlix **Source:** https://vodlix.com/features/movies-management **Summary:** Manage films, shows, trailers and live channels in one place. Search and filter a large catalogue, act in bulk, and set monetization per title. **Publisher:** Vodlix --- ## Movies Management Manage your movie library with ease. Search, filter, publish and set monetization across the whole catalogue. - **Feature Plan:** 2 - back-end - core-platform ## One Place for Everything You Publish Films, shows, trailers and live channels all live in the same manager, so running a catalogue of five thousand titles is a matter of searching and filtering rather than remembering where things are. ### Catalogues Get Big Faster Than Tools Do A few dozen titles can be managed from memory. A few thousand cannot, and the moment a catalogue passes that line the platform either helps or gets in the way. What matters then is unglamorous: can you find one title among thousands, can you see its state without opening it, and can you act on fifty at once. Vodlix puts every content type in a single manager with search, filters and bulk actions, so the library stays workable at the size it will actually reach rather than the size it started at. #### Every type, one manager Movies, TV shows, trailers and live channels are tabs in the same place rather than four separate tools, so moving between them costs nothing. #### Find it, then act on it Search, filters and views narrow thousands of titles to the handful you meant, and bulk actions apply a change to all of them at once instead of one at a time. #### State without opening it Processing status, duration and monetization model sit in the list itself, so you can see what is ready, what is still working and what is earning without clicking into anything. ### Monetization Set Per Title Your platform has a default monetization model, and most titles should simply follow it. The interesting cases are the exceptions, and this is where they are handled. Override the default on any single title and choose what it should be instead: **AVOD** to run it free with advertising, **SVOD** to place it behind a subscription, **TVOD** to sell it individually, or **free to watch**, which makes it reachable by anyone including viewers who are not signed in. That last one is more useful than it sounds. A free episode one, a documentary released for a campaign or a trailer that needs no account is how people find a service in the first place, and it takes a toggle rather than a workaround. The [monetization models](/features/ott-monetization-models) page covers how the three fit together commercially. - mx-auto ### Everything a Title Carries Open a title and everything attached to it is in one editor rather than scattered across the platform. Media and playback settings, monetization, trailers, subtitles, cast and crew, translations, chapters, SEO, thumbnails and logos, additional assets and marketing all sit in the same place, and the title carries its published state at the top where it belongs. That matters because catalogue work is rarely one task. Adding a film means artwork, a synopsis, a rating, subtitles, credits and a decision about how it earns. Doing that across eleven screens is how details get missed. Doing it in one is how a catalogue stays consistent. Metadata can be pulled from TMDB rather than typed, which is the same mechanism behind the [TMDB integration](/features/tmdb-integration) and the [artists manager](/features/artists-manager). **Q: What can be managed from the Content Manager?** Movies, TV shows, trailers and live channels, each as a tab in the same manager. There is no separate tool per content type. **Q: Can we act on many titles at once?** Yes. Bulk actions apply a change across everything you have selected, which is what keeps a large catalogue manageable when a rights window closes or a batch needs publishing together. **Q: Can a single title use a different monetization model?** Yes. Your platform has a default, and any title can override it to be AVOD, SVOD, TVOD or free to watch. Free to watch is reachable even by viewers who are not signed in, which is useful for a sample episode or a promotional release. **Q: What is attached to a single title?** Media and playback settings, monetization, trailers, subtitles, cast and crew, translations, chapters, SEO settings, thumbnails and logos, extra assets and marketing, all in one editor alongside its published state. **Q: Do we have to type metadata in by hand?** No. Content information can be pulled from TMDB, which fills in the details rather than asking somebody to transcribe them, and the same applies to cast and crew records. **Q: Is deleting a title permanent?** No. Removed titles move to a trash view and can be restored, so a mistake during a bulk action is recoverable rather than final.
