Duplicating a video

Description

To create a copy of video file, use the Duplicate button in the video toolbar.

This feature is useful if you want to provide identical, separate video files for two different departments and saves you the trouble of uploading the file more than once.

Copied Properties

Note that the following properties of the original file are adopted for the copy:

group membership

security policy

access profile

active thumbnail

metadata: title, description, keywords, and person in charge

The system automatically assigns a separate video ID to the duplicate.

Duplicate video

To duplicate a video file, you need the right to duplicate videos. Additional access rights to the video and channel are necessary via the Ownership framework (see also "Access Right Matrix: Duplicate videos into a channel").

Steps

To duplicate a video file:

Select the video you wish to duplicate.

Click the Duplicate button.

Please wait

All video formats must be finished converting before a video can be duplicated.

A popup dialog will open allowing you to select a channel from a drop-down menu.

Click the Duplicate button in the popup dialog.

Duplicated video

The duplicated video will automatically inherit the group of the channel. This allows you to create a main group with videos that are write-protected.
If necessary, videos are duplicated and allocated to certain channels so that the respective group members can edit, delete, or publish them.
The original video remains untouched in the write-protected group.

The selected video file will be duplicated and appear in the video list as "Copy of..."

Now you can edit the copied file normally.
