Bulk edit video settings and metadata

In the upper right corner, various action items will appear. Select the Edit drop-down menu to see all the possible components you can bulk-change on your selected videos.
A modal of the selected metadata key will appear. In most cases, you can decide on your Edit type, meaning you can add metadata to all selected videos, delete metadata from all selected videos, or replace all existing metadata with the newly selected metadata.
Once it’s configured, apply the setting. You’ll see a notification letting you know that the changes will apply to all of the selected videos. Select the checkbox that says “I understand,” then click Save.
