Linking your movies for CLZ Cloud

Linking your movies for syncing with CLZ Cloud

Before uploading your movies to CLZ Cloud from the Windows or Mac software, you need to “link your
movies”.

Movie Collector, CLZ Cloud and Linking

Movie Collector is built around the our central online database: Core for Movies. For the online user
databases in CLZ Cloud, all factual movie details (cast, crew, cover images, audience rating, genre, ) and
cover images are used and shown directly from Core for Movies.

This factual movie data is not stored per user. Instead, it is stored only once, inside Core for Movies then
linked to for every CLZ Cloud user that owns that movie.
This factual data is not uploaded to CLZ Cloud when you sync your data from Movie Collector. It only
uploads your personal data fields like Collection Status, Purchase information, Notes, Rating, etc…), plus
the link to the corresponding movie entry in Core for Movies (basically just the CLZ Movie ID of the entry
inside Core for Movies).

So in order to see full movie details and cover images in CLZ Cloud, it is essential that your local movie
entries are linked to the corresponding entries in Core for Movies.
Without linking, your movie entries will show up as simple Title entries, with just your personal data. No
cast, crew, cover images, audience rating, genre, .

How to link your movies

If you have been using the Add Movies Automatically screen to catalog your movies, selecting and
downloading the data from Core for Movies, then most of your movies will already be linked.

You will only need to link the movies that you added manually.

To link your movies, click menu CLZ Cloud > Link Movies and let the program search for your movies in the
Core for Movies. Link whatever you can (no problem if you can’t link a couple).

You can search all of them at once, or check the results and focus on each single movie before linking it.
