If you would like to test out the Merge Fleet prior to a front end interface being created you can trigger the fleet from a Task on a completed job. Please follow the steps below in order to setup this flow.

Merge Fleet Setup

  1. Integrate Vimeo

    1. https://admin.spiro.media/settings/integrations/vimeo

  2. Integrate Dropbox

    1. https://admin.spiro.media/settings/integrations/dropbox

    2. Add Folder

      1. Static Folder

      2. Name (Merge-Fleet-Unedited-Video)

      3. Checkmark "RAW/Unedited Video Clips)

  3. Add a Task that uses the Merge Fleet

    1. https://admin.spiro.media/settings/task-builder

    3. Just add all fields as shown above

  4. Now we need to link this Task on your Video Service

    1. https://admin.spiro.media/shopping-cart/services

    2. Find/Edit your Video Service that you would like to use the Merge Fleet as the video editors

    4. Add the Task in which you created in the steps above. Now every time this Service is ordered this task will be assigned

  5. Now you need to place an Order that includes your Video Service

    1. Place a test order under your Agent record and order a Bundle with video (or select it as an add on)

  6. Now we are going to force the completion of this job

    1. Once the Order is Placed "Manage" the order

      1. In the Search bar you can search for the address of the order and then click the address to go to the manage page

    2. Click the button "Force Photographer Completed"

      1. This will allow us to skip ahead in the timeline to after the shoot has been completed

  7. In a few minutes you will see the Listing appear – Open the Property Website builder

    1. Click Listings and wait for this property to appear

  8. Open the Property Website Editor (this is the icon on the far right the page with the folded corned)

  9. From the Property Website Builder you will have a link to the Dropbox Folder

    1. This is a button labeled "Dropbox" at the top of the page

  10. Upload your re-numbered clips (001, 002, 003, etc) to the folder we created above in Step 2b

  11. The Merge Fleet will scan this folder for video clips and when all clips are uploaded will begin to process the video.

  12. The finished video can be seen on the PWE under the Video section – also the video will be automatically uploaded to your Vimeo account
