Vesper to FORGE synchronization
Vesper is the source of truth for Live Event Videos.
When VESPER live events are created or modified in VESPER, the changes are automatically propagated to the corresponding FORGE entities.
When you modify the title, the changes are not propagated back to VESPER. If you edit the Title, this field is no longer synchronized with the corresponding field in the VESPER live events.
How to restore the synchronization
By setting the same value as the Title has in VESPER, you can restore the VESPER-to-FORGE synchronization.
Can I create a Live Event Video in FORGE?
No. The Live Event Video entitis in FORGE are references to VESPER live events.
Live to VOD transition
Accordingly with the VESPER live-to-VOD transition, these are the parallel workflows running when a live event ends:
Workflow step | VESPER | FORGE |
|---|---|---|
1. | Live event published | Live Event Video imported in FORGE and published. Editors can unpublish the FORGE custom entity. |
2. | Live event unpublished | Live Event Video archived |
3. | Final VOD published | Final VOD imported and published |
