[kdmccormick]

Proposal Date

2024-08-08

Target Ticket Acceptance Date

2024-09-01

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Teak - 2025-04

Rationale

The legacy VideoBlock editor is based on outdated frontend technologies that do not integrate well with the new React-based Studio micro-frontend. There is a newer React-based editor that replaces it. Supporting both editors is a major burden for maintenance and feature development.

Removal

The old pop-up modal Video editor will be removed.

@pdpinch And here's the last of the 3 editor DEPR tickets.

Do you know of concerns specific to the new Video editor? I realize that general feedback on full-screen-only and lack of open-in-new-tab both apply here.
