Renaming, moving and deleting videos

Use a video's ⋯ menu to rename it, change its thumbnail, move it or delete it. You can also reorder videos alongside photos in a chapter.

Available on Plus and Pro

Gallery video is included on the Plus and Pro plans. See CoreHue plans.

Rename a video​

A new video takes its title from the file name, so FINAL_v3_export.mp4 is what your client would see. Worth changing.

  1. On the video card, open ⋯ and choose Rename.
  2. Type a title, up to 200 characters.
  3. Click Save.

Your client sees the title under the player when they open the video, so "Highlight film" or "Ceremony, full length" reads much better than a file name. Renaming doesn't change the file name of the download.

Play a video from your dashboard​

Click a ready video's card, or choose Play from its ⋯ menu, to watch it in a full-screen player. It's handy for a final check before you share the gallery.

You can't download videos from your dashboard, so keep your own copy of every film you deliver.

Change the order​

Drag a video card to a new spot in the chapter's Videos section. Your client sees them in the same order. Only videos that have finished processing can be dragged.

  1. On the video card, open ⋯ and choose Move to chapter.
  2. Pick a chapter in this gallery. To move it to a different gallery, click the back arrow next to the gallery name and choose another gallery first.
  3. Click Move.

You can also drag a video onto a chapter in the sidebar on the left. Need a new home for it? New chapter in the move dialog creates one on the spot.

The Move to chapter option appears once the gallery has more than one chapter. A video you move into another gallery follows that gallery's settings from then on, including whether it's published and whether downloads are on.

Videos move, they don't copy

Unlike photos, a video can only be in one place. There's no copy option, so moving a video takes it out of the chapter it was in.

Delete a video​

  1. On the video card, open ⋯ and choose Delete.
  2. Confirm in Delete this video?

Deleting is permanent and the video disappears from your client's gallery straight away. Its running time comes off your total video time immediately, so you can upload something else. It still counts toward this month's upload limit, though. See Video limits by plan.

Work with several videos at once​

Tick the checkbox in the corner of a video card, or drag a box around several cards with your mouse. A bar appears at the bottom of the screen with Move to chapter, Delete and Clear selection. With exactly one video selected you also get Open and Edit thumbnail.

Photos and videos are selected separately. While you have videos selected, the photos fade back so you can't mix the two, and the other way round.

Frequently asked questions​

No. Gallery videos can be moved but not copied. If you need the same film in two galleries, upload it to each one. Each copy uses its running time from your plan.

Can I hide one video but keep the rest of the chapter visible?​

No. There's no per-video visibility switch, so videos show whenever the gallery is published. To keep one back, move it to a chapter you've hidden from visitors.

Why can't I move a video?​

Moving a video is paused while your account is over its photo storage limit. Free up space or upgrade and moving works again. See When you're over your storage limit.

Yes. Deleting a gallery permanently deletes its videos along with its photos. See Deleting a gallery.
