Hi Olli,

With MH 1.3.1, I think there is no easy way to move a video from a series to 
another. 

This tasks could only be realised through different steps:

Get the media package (through workflow endpoint for example).
Remove the mediapackage from the search and episode service.
Create a new dublincore catalog with the old one from the media package and 
modified the field related to the series (field dcterms:isPartOf).
Use the ingest REST endpoint to add the modified dublin-core to the media 
package (method ingest/addCatalog).
Ingest the media package with a workflow having the publish operation. 

It was the manual way for this task. But it could also be done using the media 
package editor in the episode service. It needs a mediapackage that has still 
all these files in the working file repository (that hasn't been process 
through a cleanup operation). 
 
In the future, I think It would also make sense to create a workflow operation 
to simplify moving video between series.

Best,
Xavier
