profile changes

I’m Sarah Blaßkiewitz (regular member), a director from Berlin, and I have some issues with my profile:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0087777/?ref_=nmawd_ov
I’m a director first, but in my bio i’m first listed as an actress, how can I change that?
How can I edit the short bio in my profile?
How can I change the video on my Startpage? This is a trailer from a Film I did years ago when e was an actress. It’s not representing my Directors Profile.
Do I need a pro account to make these changes?

Sarah: Some of these changes require a Pro account and some don't.

To edit your bio ("Sarah Blaßkiewitz studied film (camera) ..."), go to https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0087777/bio/ and click "Edit page". 

On the next screen, on the Biography line, select "Correct/Delete". Click "Continue".

On the next screen, select "Correct" in the drop-down menu to the left of the biography. Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will see that the biography is editable. You can make your edits to the text, then select the proper explanation below, and click "Check these updates". (Note: Please make sure that your edited biography contains as much information as the original biography; if you just cut out a lot of information without replacing it with new information, your changes may be rejected.) The rest of the process should be self-explanatory.

As to being listed first as a director instead of an actress, normally a person's occupations will be listed in order based on how many credits they have in each occupation.  

However, each episode of a TV series counts as a separate credit. Since you have actress credits on 94 episodes of a TV series, you are considered to have a total of 96 actress credits compared to only 11 director credits. 

It is possible to re-order one's occupations so that they will appear in a different order. However, this requires a paid subscription to IMDbPro Premium. See https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/manage-your-imdb-page/manage-your-primary-professions/GWW6XSGATEXS8K5V# for information about that.

I don't have information about changing the video on your page, so hopefully someone else will help you with that.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
