when you create your hyper 8 site
00:00
the first thing you will encounter in
00:01
the editor is the site setup page
00:03
on this page you can choose from
00:07
three different options that will decide how
00:08
your site is structured the last option
00:11
is also the simplest one which is
00:14
that your video site simply presents a
00:16
single video
00:19
the second option is that your video
00:20
site is basically itself a playlist that
00:24
contains any number of videos and the
00:26
first option is the most flexible and
00:30
most powerful one and that is a
00:33
collection which can contain any number of
00:34
videos any number of playlists and again
00:37
any number of subcollections and
00:40
these subcollections themselves can contain any
00:42
number of videos, playlists, subcollections and
00:45
so on so this is a very
00:47
powerful framework of if you will categories
00:49
or groups that you can use to
00:52
build complex hierarchies that can nest very
00:54
deeply if you want them to
00:57
and the last important takeaway from this
00:59
video is that you can also at
01:01
any later point change between these options
01:04
so if you initialize your site first as
01:06
a single video site you can go
01:09
to dangerous actions and move this into
01:11
a new playlist as you can see the
01:15
site thereby becomes a
01:17
playlist itself and that contains a video
01:19
and here you can see that as
01:23
it is a playlist you can add
01:26
further videos to it but if you
01:27
go again to dangerous actions for this
01:30
playlist you can convert it to a collection
01:32
and when you do that you can
01:35
see that there are further options
01:37
now available because a collection can
01:39
also contain subcollections and playlists and
01:41
so on you can nest that as
01:44
deep as you want and also important
01:45
is that this also goes the other
01:48
way around so if at this point
01:50
you want to sort of reduce the
01:52
complexity of your site you can for
01:54
instance go from a collection back to
01:56
a playlist here
01:59
and as this playlist just contains
02:01
a single video you can go all
02:03
the way back and say you want
02:05
to convert this playlist with one video
02:07
back to just a single video and
02:09
with this we've come full circle and
02:12
our site is basically back at
02:14
the initial complexity which is just one
