It has been recommended by the GMCA Digital
team, that platform Wistia will provide the most suitable solution
for hosting the 14 criminal justice system timeline videos on the
GM Victims website. Wistia will ensure that we are able to offer a
more versatile service with additional functionality offering more
value for money, such as from the following:
• Wistia can create automated captions on videos which can
then be edited for an accurate transcript for the user to read,
being more compliant with accessibility requirements.
• Wistia will allow us as users to create folders of videos
that can be used for the Support Timeline and any future timelines
for the site.
• Wistia will also give in-depth analytics on how people
engage with the videos. It also allows the creation of a custom
video player to match the GM Victims branding.
• Wistia adds functionality such as a video editor where it is
possible to edit and update the video & transcript in the
future to keep up with ever evolving information.
