 ## How it works / Usage
 1. Put all the scripts in the directory with your video files (scripts currently do not recurse into subdirectories).
 2. Edit 'Example.info.json'
-  Update these lines
-    - "channel_id": "Change To Channel ID/username",
-    - "uploader": "Youtube Username",
-    - "uploader_id": "Change To Channel ID",
-    - "uploader_url": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/ChangeToChannelID-or-username",
+   - Update these lines (And also any other lines you want copied to each video that won't be scripted in. Null values I didn't have data for yet.)
+ ``` 
+"channel_id": "Change to Youtube Username",
+"uploader": "Change to Youtube Username",

 ## Notes and tips
 - Scripts do not process subdirectories. Run at the directory root for each archive.
-- Always test on a copy or run a subset first to confirm behavior.
+- Always test on a copy or run a subset first to confirm behavior. 
 - If filenames contain unusual characters, run a quick grep for non-ASCII prior to processing.
 - Modify scripts to add dry-run mode if you want safer previews.
