Synopsis

A tool created in Ruby on Rails for the management of video assets, especially for websites who have needs that can't be met by the or have outgrown the standard backend interface.

Basic user management(Create, edit, delete) and template fragments are also implemented. Users can be authorized against 5 different access levels and template fragments(for static content) are compiled from markdown with support for adding any template language.

This should be more than enough for most needs and for those that need more, it's very easy to extend upon by design.
