Migration of data from old TouchTheVideo

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to migrate the old TouchTheVideo data.

Here we will inform you how to transfer the video and marker information from “TouchTheVideo Documents” to TouchTheVideo Plus.

If migration of marker information is not required, see only 2.

 

In addition, “Photo” albums and iTunes library data will be shared with TouchTheVideo Plus, so there is no need to migrate data.(”Music Videos” in the “iTunes Library” can no longer be displayed in TouchTheVideo Plus due to restrictions by Apple.)
