Audio Clips

EnaCast lets you enrich news articles with audio clips (short audio segments) that play in a player inside the text itself, without leaving the article.

Example of an audio clip embedded in the body of a news article

Upload an audio clip from the article editor

Go to the management panel at studio.enacast.com. In the sidebar, under Content, open News and create a new article or open the one you want to edit.

1. In the text editor, place the cursor where you want the clip to appear.
2. In the toolbar, click Audio. The Upload Audio window opens.
3. Type the clip’s Title (optional): it is the text listeners see in the player. If you leave it empty, the file name is used.
4. Click Click or drag an MP3 file to upload and choose the file (MP3 - Max 200MB).
5. Click Upload and insert.

The player appears in the text where your cursor was. Save or publish the article as usual.

Where the clips are stored

Each clip is stored as an episode of a hidden program that EnaCast creates the first time you upload an audio file. The program is named after your station’s language (“Audio embeds for news articles” in English). Because it is a hidden program, it does not appear in the website’s listings or search, but its episodes play inside the articles and through a direct link.

To add a description or an image of its own to a clip, find it in Episodes by filtering on that program, and edit it like any other episode.

Insert a clip that already exists

To reuse a clip in another article, or to insert audio that is already an episode, click Episode in the editor’s toolbar and choose the episode in the Insert Episode window. See the text editor guide for the other options.
