A video CMS can give you the viewing rates of your videos, the movements that your viewers make on your videos, and perhaps more. Turning this data into an insight will be your greatest assistant in improving your video production and management processes.

Also, analytics is a key component of a strategy. You will need to determine if your videos are earning a return of investment (ROI) or not. So, you should use the video metrics to measure according to your goals. When you recognize some videos have a great impact on ROI, you should do them more.

Editing Capabilities & Interaction Design

A modern video CMS may give you the power of online video editing and interaction design while managing your video repository. Beyond just managing the content, it also provides you to trim video and combine different videos.
