My video clips have the wrong title when viewed with Plex

Why are some of my own video clips that I have created and saved on my Desktop titled incorrectly when displayed via Plex? They are often given a title for a film, complete with cast of actors when they are simply just family video clips.
I have tried editing the metadata but you need a Plex pass to do that.

Are you using a movie library and Plex Movie scanner and agent?

Try an Other Video library instead.

See docs about how to name and organize personal media.

Where are you getting stuck when you try this? Editing details shouldn’t require a Plex Pass.

You could also unmatch the item, but as FordGuy mentioned, if you’re trying to catalog family videos, using an ‘Other Videos’ library is a better option, or a movie library that uses the personal media agent and Plex video files scanner, which will prevent Plex from trying to match your content against online sources.

Thanks for your replies. I will give those a go.

Using ‘Other videos’ sorted out the problem. Thanks again for your help.
