Question

I want to create a custom name for on of the labels in my modelform this is my forms.py

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    body = forms.CharField(widget=Pa

An easy way to achieve this without editing the form would be to change the verbose_name on the model. For the video field on your model you could change the label on the form from "video" to "embed" like so:

class Post(models.Model)
    video = models.UrlField(verbose_name="embed")
    # Other fields
