This article explains how to upload a video to create a new archive video. You can either follow the video or written instructions below. 



The system automatically creates and uploads an archive to the view page when your archive's status is set to Public. However, you can also upload your own video clips to create new archive videos.

To upload a new video clip, complete the following steps from the Archives tab in MediaManager:
