Video hero on impulse theme

Topic summary

Adding a unique hero video to each Shopify collection page (Impulse theme) results in the same video appearing across all collections after saving. The goal is to have a different video per collection.

Proposed solutions:

  • Alternate templates (OS 2.0): Create separate collection templates and assign them to specific collections. Best if there are only a few collections. A Shopify help doc link was provided.
  • Metafields + Dynamic sources: Add a collection metafield (e.g., for video URL or media) and connect the hero video setting to that metafield via dynamic sources. Scales well for many collections. A Shopify doc link on dynamic sources was shared.

Notes and clarifications:

  • “Alternate templates” are additional theme templates you can assign per collection to change layout/settings.
  • “Metafields” are custom fields stored on collections; “dynamic sources” let section settings pull values from those fields.
  • A preview/URL was requested to diagnose specifics; the original poster declined sharing. Screenshots were provided showing the video applying to all collections.

Status: No final fix confirmed. Next step depends on the number of collections to choose between templates or metafields; discussion remains open.

So i set up the video on the collections page, as you can see the products below this. When I click save, this same video saves to all of my collections which I do not want. I’m super lost I apologize.
