ChrisHi Chris, welcome to Dgrin :wave

The galleries show as 'empty' because you have not uploaded any photos/movies to that gallery. You have linked the videoclips, which are really located on youtube.

What you can do, is first upload an image that you want as the 'cover thumbnail'. Then, use the phototools menu to set it as the 'featured photo'.
When you then move it to another gallery, it will still be the featured photo. So, create a private gallery, and move the image there. It will show instead of the 'empty gallery' logo, but still can not be seen in the gallery, or elsewhere.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions!
