Type migration is not available the way the video describes it.

When we try to do Type Migration (Sept 2019) we see the following tooltip on top of <Song>

Only fields, variables, method parameters or methods of valid type can be considered.

Has anyone gone around it by other than manually updating the names?

Also, as others noted a class is missing from the download.

HI Helmut,

I think I got it working...

Press ⌃⇧F6 or on the main menu, select Refactor | Type Migration.

found here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/type-migration.html

UPDATE: I got the 2nd use working by using "Rename" from the list of options under the main Refactor menu
