If you want to place a Rush order for your video, you need to add a rev-rush tag to your video. This tag will be removed from the video once the order has been delivered.
You're all set. Brightcove will look for new orders every hour. Once the video has been received by Rev, the tag will change from rev-fr to rev-fr-placed.
Occasionally, orders may be canceled due to poor audio quality or prohibitively challenging content. If an order you place is canceled and you don't believe it was related to one of these reasons, you can use the rev-redo tag to place a new order. Adding the rev-redo tag can place a new order for a video that had previously been unsuccessful as well as one that already has a text track uploaded from a successful order. Rev-redo tags are automatically removed after an order is placed. If there is poor audio or prohibitively challenging content, we do not recommend submitting the file to be redone since the end product can be negatively impacted due to those elements.
Receive your captions
When your order is complete, the tag will change from rev-placed to rev-completed.
When your order is complete, the tag will change from rev-es-la-placed to rev-es-la-completed.
The captions and/or subtitles will be automatically delivered to the video in your Brightcove account. You can also view and edit the files from your Rev account.
