# Edit Video Metadata

## How to Filter and Edit Video Metadata in YouTube MCN

## **Overview**

Managing large volumes of YouTube video content is easy and efficient within Revelator’s YouTube MCN module. This feature allows you to filter videos by multiple criteria — such as views, likes, duration, or visibility — and access or edit key metadata directly from the platform.

* Discover underperforming videos
* Ensure metadata consistency across catalogs
* Maintain compliance with content standards

***

## **Prerequisites**

* YouTube MCN connection must be active.
* Channels and their videos must already be imported.
* You need **edit permissions** in the workspace or on the assigned channel.

***

## **How It Works: Step-by-Step Guide**

### Step 1: Navigate to the YouTube > Videos Tab

* From the left-hand menu, go to **YouTube** under “UGC Platforms.”
* Select the **Videos** tab to view a grid or list of imported video content.

***

### Step 2: Apply Filters to Find Specific Content

* Click the **Filter** icon on the top right to open advanced filters.

You can filter by:

* Premiere date
* Channel name
* Views, Likes, Comments
* Duration
* Visibility (Public or Private)
* Safe for Kids (Yes or No)
* Categories

Use the **Custom Range** or **All time** dropdown to further narrow your video selection.

### Step 3: Access the Video Details Page

* Click on any video to open its detail view.
* You’ll see two tabs: **Overview** and **Metadata**.

The **Overview** tab shows:

* Engagement stats (views, likes, comments)
* Premiere date
* Visibility status
* Category and video quality

***

### Step 4: Edit Metadata Fields

Go to the **Metadata** tab to update:

* **Title**
* **Description**
* **Premiere Date**
* **Visibility**
* **Category**
* **Channel Assignment**
* **Video Quality**

Make your edits and click **Save** to apply changes across the catalog.

## **Expected Outcomes**

* Filtered video list showing only content matching your criteria.
* Accurate and standardized metadata across your catalog.
* Improved content discoverability and compliance with platform standards.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**

* **Can I bulk edit metadata for multiple videos?**\
  Currently, edits are made one video at a time. Bulk editing is on the roadmap.
* **What if my edits aren’t reflected on YouTube?**\
  Metadata updates are stored in Revelator’s catalog. Edits in Revelator do not push to YouTube directly.
* **Can I export filtered video lists?**\
  Export functionality is in development — for now, filtered views remain in-platform.
* **Can I edit videos I don’t own?**\
  Only if you have permissions or are the assigned channel owner.
