Presenting videos using collection-based hierarchies
An example site directory for a site that uses collections to build a custom site structure - where videos are both in the root collection of the site, in a nested playlist, and in a nested subcollection. This example again builds on an entirely hypothetical scenario of how video content from and around the world of Blender could be presented using Hyper 8's collections.
Tip: If you compare this example with the previous example (which presents a single playlist only), you will notice that the playlist from the previous example (Open Movies) has simply - without any modification - been moved into a subdirectory here to form part of a collection. This demonstrates that Hyper 8's fundamental building blocks (videos, playlists, collections) can be easily moved within and across Hyper 8 sites.
