Replace a Clip's Media

You can replace an existing clip’s audio or video file. If the clip has been published, clip downloads and analytics remain unaffected.

You can only replace a media file of the same format, audio or video. For example, if a clip has an audio file you can replace it only with another audio file, not a video file.

3. In the File upload window, select the new media file. For a video clip, you must select another video file. For an audio clip, you must select another audio file.

4. Do not close the browser tab while the the new media file is uploading.

5. While your browser uploads, you can update the clip’s details with the new file’s metadata. See Replace a Clip's Media.

Replace Clip Metadata

When uploading a new media file or replacing a clip’s file, you can choose which metadata from the media to replace the clip’s details. You can do this when the uploaded media file has ID3 metadata.

When they’re available, Omny Studio lets you choose to import these ID3 metadata fields:

• Clip title: ID3 title

• Clip description: ID3 comments

• Clip link URL: ID3 URL

• Clip artwork: ID3 artwork

• Clip chapters: MP3 ID3 chapters or Adobe Audition XMP cue-points

1. In Uploads, select the Replace clip metadata icon.

2. In Replace clip metadata, check the details in the clip you want to update with the new media file’s metadata.

3. To save your changes, select Update metadata.
