01 / No new module
Your Layout Stays Native Divi
It registers nothing of its own. Every slide it creates is an ordinary Video Slider Item.
Free · Built Natively for Divi 5
Fill the Slider
in One Paste.
Divi 5 already ships a Video Slider. Building one is the slow part: add a slide, paste a URL, type a title, repeat. This adds a single Bulk Import Videos button to that module and does the whole list at once, from your Media Library, a list of URLs, or a YouTube playlist.
- Free and GPL
- Adds no new module
- No API key needed
- Divi 5 native
Key Benefits
Divi Already Ships the Slider. Filling It Is the Slow Part
Add a slide, paste a URL, type a title, repeat forty times. The module is fine. The repetition is the problem.
02
Nothing Is Created Until You Have Seen It
Every video is listed first, with its thumbnail and the reason for anything that will be skipped. Reorder, rename, drop, then import.
03
A Layers Panel You Can Read
Each slide takes its title as the Element Label, so the panel lists your videos rather than forty rows called “Video Slider Item”.
04
Thumbnails for Self-Hosted Video
Divi’s own Generate From Video button handles YouTube and Vimeo and stops there. This grabs a real frame from an MP4 and saves it to your Media Library.
How It Works
Three Steps, Inside the Builder
The button sits in Divi’s own Elements group, where every other Video Slider setting already lives.
1
Open the Video Slider
Open a Video Slider module and expand Elements on the Content tab. Bulk Import Videos is the last item in that group.
2
Choose Where the Videos Come From
Your Media Library, a pasted list of URLs, a YouTube playlist, or an import you have already run. Fetch, and everything comes back listed.
3
Review, Then Import
Reorder, rename, or drop rows. Choose Append or Replace All, and press Import.
What It Does
Three Ways In, One Slider Out
Everything is listed for review before a single slide is created. What it builds are Divi’s own Video Slider Items.
In Divi’s Own Panel
One Button, Where Every Other Slider Setting Already Lives
Bulk Import Videos is the last item in the Video Slider’s Elements group. A field on Divi’s module, not a screen of its own.
- Content tab, Elements group, last item
- No new module, no new admin menu
- It appears on Divi’s Video Slider and nowhere else
- Deactivate the plugin and every slide it made keeps working

Your Library, or Any List
Videos You Already Have, and Anything You Can Paste
Pick as many existing videos as you like, or paste a list of URLs one per line. Everything comes back listed with its title and thumbnail.
- Choose from the Media Library, or upload new videos. Nothing is sent anywhere: your own files, read on your own site
- YouTube, Vimeo and direct MP4 or WEBM, mixed in one paste
- Duplicates caught by video ID, against the batch and against the slider
- A line that is not a video is struck through with the reason, never dropped silently
- A real frame grabbed from an MP4, saved to your Media Library

YouTube Playlist
A Whole Playlist, in One Paste
One link instead of one slide at a time. Every video the feed carries comes back with its title and thumbnail.
- Free mode reads the public feed, which carries roughly the 15 most recent
- A YouTube Data API key returns the full playlist instead, up to four hundred videos
- Drag a row or move it with the arrow keys. Click a title to rewrite it
- Choose Append or Replace All, press Import, done

Why Choose StackVane Video Import
What the Slider Does, and What This Adds
It Extends the Module You Already Use
One button in the Video Slider’s Content tab. No second slider to learn, and no migration if you already have sliders built by hand.
Nothing Is Locked In
Everything it creates is an ordinary Video Slider Item. Deactivate the plugin and the slides stay exactly where they are, still editable in Divi.
| Capability | With StackVane | The Slider Alone |
|---|---|---|
| Add many videos in one action | Yes Three sources, one paste | No One slide at a time |
| Import a whole YouTube playlist | Yes From a single link | No |
| See what will be created before it is | Yes With thumbnails and durations | No |
| Reorder the batch before committing | Yes Drag, or the arrow keys | No Only once every slide exists |
| Rewrite titles on the way in | Yes And tidy them in bulk | No Typed per slide |
| Name each slide in the layers panel | Yes The video title itself | No Forty rows, one label |
| Give a self-hosted MP4 a thumbnail | Yes A real frame, saved once | No YouTube and Vimeo only |
| Catch duplicates | Yes In the batch and the slider | No |
| Reuse a past import elsewhere | Yes Optional history, off by default | No |
Performance, Privacy and Security
What It Loads, What It Stores, and What It Sends
Three answers, all checkable in the plugin itself, which ships its readable source.
01 / What it loads
It Runs in the Builder, Not on Your Site
A published page carries not one byte of this plugin. It creates no database tables either: two settings, saved alongside Divi’s own.
02 / What it sends
It Only Reaches Out When You Press Fetch
Nothing is contacted until you paste a URL and ask for it, and what goes out is the video or playlist ID. Nothing about you or your site travels with it.
03 / What it stores
Import History Is Off Until You Want It
Off by default, so nothing is recorded. Switch it on and a past import can be dropped into another slider without fetching it again.

FAQ
Before You Install
The questions that decide whether this is the right tool, answered before you download it.
No. It extends the Video Slider that Divi 5 already ships. Every slide it creates is an ordinary Video Slider Item.
Nothing to your layouts. The slides are native Divi modules and keep working. You only lose the import button.
No. Free mode reads each video’s public data and needs no setup. A key is optional: it returns a playlist in full rather than roughly its 15 most recent, and adds real durations and view counts.
In Divi’s own Theme Options, as a masked password field. It is never sent to the browser and never appears in your page source.
Yes, once you switch it on. Save Import History sits in Divi › Theme Options, off by default. With it on, the History tab drops a past import into another slider without fetching it again.
Yes, and Divi’s own Generate From Video button cannot. It grabs a frame, saves it to your Media Library, and sets it as the slide’s overlay. Files on your own site only.
No. It needs Divi 5, as either the theme or the Divi Builder plugin. Without it the plugin stays inert and says so.
No. It loads nothing on the front end and nothing in wp-admin. Its code runs only inside the Divi Visual Builder.
Roadmap
What Is Being Built Next
Everything else on this page works today. These two do not yet, and neither has a date.
Auto Sync: A Slider That Keeps Itself Filled
Paste a playlist URL and the slider keeps up with it: a video published to that playlist becomes a slide, without anybody opening the builder.
Append adds only what is new. Replace rebuilds the slider from the playlist each time, so anything you changed by hand does not survive.
Import a Whole Channel, Not Just a Playlist
Paste a channel URL instead of a playlist link and every upload on it becomes a slide. Only where the videos come from changes.
Useful when the videos you want were never collected into a playlist, which is most channels.
