This feature allows the user to protect content from unauthorized access.
The encryption mechanism works at a very low level in the decoding processing hierarchy. This means that it has no influence on the way the data is represented and is therefore independent of video formats, container types, etc.
Content encryption is accessible via right-click on a resource in the Compositing/Resources tree.
A dialog then opens with the encryption options.
The password will be necessary to play back the encrypted file.
The checkboxes provide options to automatically remove original data from the source system.
NOTE
Please note, that these options apply only to the source system. When the encrypted file is distributed to clients, it is always treated as a complete replacement. This means that any originals present on the clients will be deleted when the encrypted version of the resource is available.
While the encryption task is running, a circle/arrow icon appears next to the resource.
To use the encrypted content, right-click on the resource and choose “Set Encryption Password”. The content can then be used as a normal resource for rendering purposes.
Known issues and current limitations
- The link which is shown in the bottom right corner, which shows the running tasks, links to the resource distribution tasks instead of to the preview tasks
- An API command is currently not available for this feature
