How the "Customize" Button Works in Flightcast

How to Use the Customize Button in Flightcast

1. Understand the default publishing behavior 0:00

• By default, anything you upload in Flightcast is sent everywhere it can go.
• Example mapping:
• Video file → all video platforms
• Audio from the video → all audio platforms
• Thumbnail → wherever video thumbnails are supported
• Cover art → wherever cover art is supported
• To publish normally, just:
• Turn on the platforms in the Publish panel
• Click Publish

2. Use Customize when you want platform-specific fields 0:29

• If you want different content for different platforms, click Customize.
• Common use cases include:
• A different title for audio/RSS platforms
• A different description for audio platforms
• Different chapters for video vs. audio
• This lets you keep one main episode, while tailoring specific fields for specific destinations.

3. Set a separate title or description for audio/RSS 0:39

• Enter your main title or description first.
• Click Customize.
• In the RSS section, add an audio-only or RSS-only version.
• This is especially useful when you want:
• A title optimized for podcast apps
• A description written specifically for audio listeners
• Audio descriptions can include linked words, which is a capability you don’t get on YouTube.

4. Customize chapters and scheduling per platform 1:19

• You can also customize chapters separately for video and audio.
• If needed, you can set different publish times for each platform.
• Example:
• Spotify can go live 2 hours earlier than YouTube
• This is optional—if you don’t need platform-specific timing, keep the main schedule and publish everything together.

5. Replace the media file for a specific platform 1:53

• If you want a different audio version, go to Customize next to Episode Media.
• Turn on RSS and upload a different MP3.
• That file becomes the default audio version for audio platforms.
• You can also upload different versions of the media if you want platform-specific wording or edits.
• Example:
• Say “subscribe” in one version
• Say “follow” in the Spotify version
