05: Uploading Content

Overview

Content can be uploaded via the LIVE Uploader tool from PRIME and it is also possible to get directly to your AWS bucket through 3rd party software such as AWS S3 Browser. Images and Clips can be dragged and dropped on the LIVE Browser for last minute uploads needed during production like logos or sponsors for example

Access Keys

Access Keys are automatically changed every 90 days for security. We recommend noting the date change so you can retrieve the new keys when they become available. Access keys and key renewal dates can be found in Settings > About

IMPORTANT: Access keys expire every 90 days for security. It's important to update them in the PRIME uploader to continue to upload from PRIME. Dates are displayed in the about section
