Video Sections Explained
Your Operabase artist profile has different video sections: Livestream & Full performance videos, Intro showreel, Audition showreel, Video clips & general profile videos, and Production videos.
Your Operabase artist profile has five video sections: Livestream & Full performance videos, Intro showreel, Audition showreel, Video clips & general profile videos, and Production videos. Adding and editing videos in most sections requires an active subscription.
If you see a video of someone else on your profile, this is normal: Operabase auto-populates this part of your profile with a video or photo from a production you took part in, so your profile isn't left blank. To change what's shown, log in and set your own profile photo and cover photo, or add your own Intro showreel — the video you choose there is what displays at the top of your profile page.
Livestream & Full performance videos
Videos in this section cannot be edited / deleted as they are attached to a production in which you participated and are automatically linked to your profile via the organisation page. Artists with a subscription can show / hide videos in this section.
If a livestream / full performance video has been inaccurately linked to your profile, please email contact@operabase.com or suggest changes by editing the specific production in your schedule.
To add videos to this section, you will need to:
- Log in to your Operabase account
- Click "Manage profile" and scroll to the Performance credits section
- Find the production that will be live streamed or was used to record VOD
- Add your live stream, full performance or VOD video link directly to the production on your schedule
