Create external video in Studio

[stevespaw]

Describe the problem to be solved

Please add the option to "Add the new video to Channel" in the Studio tool. We want to create some short highlights from a longer show. But we don't want to overwrite the original or delete it.

Hey!!
I think we can achieve this using plugin as well. If you can provide the hooks as mentioned here #5089 . I can start working on Plugin to resolve this issue.

Hey!!
Since I want to inject HTML in studio-related pages using the plugin, a client-side hook if available would solve my issue.

@smilekison Hi there, I just thought I would connect and see if there was any progress on this feature. Thanks!

I've made some updates based on the comment in #6281

There is now a checkbox the user can select if they want to save as a new video. When checked, a textbox displayed that will allow the user to put in a new video name. If they do not specify a new name, then it will default to the existing.

And will show up as a task:

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Hi,

I think we should provide a video edition form like we have for video imports:

• User decides to save the edition as a new video
• On save:
  • the video edition/update form is opened so the user can update new video metadata
  • PeerTube creates a new "video container" on server side in TO_EDIT_AS_NEW_VIDEO video state and run the edition job

The way, users can easily updates the new video metadata (privacy, channel etc) before editing is complete. Users would also see the video in their library and so can track which one is still in "processing state" or not.

@Chocobozzz That would be better for sure. It alleviates some of challenges with how much metadata we should copy from the source video. I'll get started on a prototype.

Is this feature going to make it to 6.1? We can really use it.

I'm working on #1322 rn, haven't had much time to work on it but will try to get back to it this weekend.

@kntndrsn @Chocobozzz Is there any motion on this feature? We just had another client that wants to take their hour long shows and separate them into separate videos

[Chocobozzz]

No sorry, this feature is not planned for the coming months
