There’s a bug with Kaltura when copying from Original course to an Ultra course. If the Kaltura video in the Original course is not within an item, meaning you uploaded the video via the Kaltura Media tool, you will not see the videos from the Copy Items page within the Ultra course. To get these videos to copy over into your Ultra course, you have to select the whole folder where the videos reside in the Original course and then they will copy over.
