About
You can replace a media file in KMC without changing the media ID, metadata, links, embeds, or analytics. When you replace a media item, the original source file is swapped out and all transcoding flavors are regenerated together, helping resolve issues such as stuck or incomplete flavors.
Replace a video
- Log into KMC and under the Entries tab, locate the media you want to replace
- Click on the entry.
- Click the Flavors tab.
- At the top of the page, select the replacement method: Upload from Desktop, Import from URL, or Match from Drop Folder (to learn more about these methods, see Upload Media via KMC and Drop folders Service for Content Ingestion.)
- You can click on the Replacement Flavors tab to review the new transcoding flavors.
The entry details page displays.
The Flavors section displays.
Even though these are labeled "Upload" and "Import," they act as the "Replace" function for this entry.
After you trigger the action, an alert appears: Video replacement is in progress.
At any time, you can click Cancel Replacement to cancel your actions.
If the status appears stuck or doesn't update, click the refresh icon (circular arrows) at the top right of the flavor table to pull the latest status from the server.
Once the replacement process has finished, an alert displays: All required Transcoding flavors are available. Entry is ready for publishing.
When you trim an entry, you trigger a similar process that replaces existing flavors with the trimmed version. See Kaltura Video Editing Tools to learn about trimming videos.
