How to Migrate from Video Embed WYSIWYG to Drupal Core Media

1. Enable the core Media module.
2. Create a Media type for remote video called remote_video with a source field called field_media_oembed_video. (If you used a standard install, this media type should get created automatically. Otherwise, you'll have to create it yourself.)
3. Configure your text formats to use the core Media Embed button and filter. You're probably using ckeditor4 if you're still using Video Embed WYSIWYG
4. Video Embed WYSIWYG Update Hook

function my_module_install() {

How to convert existing image fields into Media images

1. Enable modules

Enable Media and Media Library modules. These modules are not enabled by default. Once enabled, you'll see several Media types.

2. Create media image fields

For each image field create a media image. For example, my Article content type has the Social share image field, so I created the Social share image media field.
