Link Patreon members to a longer movie

Host the full movie on Bunny Stream, then add its link to a Patreon post.

Why use it

A short Patreon post can introduce the release while Bunny Stream delivers the longer movie from a reusable video library.

Set it up

Ask an agent to set it up
Set up a Bunny Stream link for my longer Patreon movie using https://www.pixelpig.net/agent/creator-publishing.md. Keep every credential out of chat, confirm the exact movie before uploading it, and help me add the returned link as a button after the paywall in my Patreon post. Stop before any paid upload or Patreon publish until I approve it.

Do this

  1. 01Start with Bunny Stream, PixelPig's recommended option for this job. Create or select a Stream video library in your Bunny account.
  2. 02In that library's API settings, locate its Video Library ID and Stream API key. Open Key Vault in PixelPig and save them under bunny:streamLibraryId and bunny:streamApiKey. Add bunny:streamCdnHostname when you also want a direct playback URL.
  3. 03Keep PixelPig open with the correct project selected. Select the finished movie and use the agent message above; the agent confirms the file before uploading it and returns a modern Bunny player link beginning https://player.mediadelivery.net/embed/ when Bunny accepts it.
  4. 04In Patreon, choose Create > Post, add the title and introduction, set the post to paid access when it is for members, and insert a Paywall before the movie link.
  5. 05On a new line after the paywall, choose + > Button. Set Button text to WATCH VIDEO and paste the Bunny link into Link. Wait for Bunny to finish processing, then preview the post and test the button on a phone as well as a computer before publishing.
