  • Theater page – A link to the full Theater page, which can be used in iframes or as a redirect.
  • Social media – A link optimized for sharing on social platforms.
  • Preview – Direct URL to the file’s preview.
  • Thumbnail – Direct URL to the file’s thumbnail.
  • File – Direct URL to the source file.
