I already have a back-catolog of video episodes on YouTube, Now I want to upload video episodes for Apple + HLS

Please complete these steps before you start using the new features:

• If you want to distribute video to Apple Podcasts, you first need to get their approval.
• Go to "Distribution > Video > Settings" and disconnect YouTube before you start. This stops Transistor from uploading duplicate videos to YouTube (since your videos are already there).
• For each episode, download the video from YouTube (or use your original file from Riverside, Descript, etc.) and upload it to Transistor using "Replace media file."
• Once you've backfilled every episode, go back to "Distribution > Video" and reconnect YouTube so new episodes publish everywhere automatically.
