2. Copying Multiple Recordings

Note: Any videos copied using batch copy will become video reference copies of their original, source video.  Video reference copies refer back to an original source video but with a completely clean slate of viewer-contributed metadata, such as quiz results, comments, and notes. When the source video is edited, the reference copy will automatically also reflect the same edits. To create an independent copy of a batch copied video, you will need to make edits to the copy.
