Once you’ve recorded and uploaded a video to Panopto, you may notice things you would like to change. Panopto gives you the ability to make limited edits within its web version.
How to Trim a Video
- Search for your video and open it.
- Click the Edit button to open the video editor.
- Once the video editor is open, you will see the timeline at the bottom of the screen with a track for each stream included in your recording (e.g., one stream for your classroom camera, one for your secondary camera, another for your slide presentation). These feeds should be designated primary (P1), secondary (S1), and slides (SL).
- Click a feed and drag your cursor over it to select a section of it. You will know which part you selected because it will be highlighted grey.
Click Cut . Whatever portion of the feed you selected will disappear.- Make sure the box next to Preview Cuts during Playback is checked. Click the Play icon to see how effective the cuts are.
- If you like what you see, click Apply to make the changes permanent.
- Panopto will automatically save any changes you make to the video. However, it is essential that you click the blue Apply icon when you are finished editing for your changes to take effect. Otherwise, they will be lost when you close Panopto's video editor.
Click Cut . Whatever portion of the feed you selected will disappear.
Panopto will now process your changes. Depending on the length of your video and the number of changes, this may take a longer or shorter amount of time. The page will refresh when processing is done, but you can click See other videos in My Folder if you'd rather not wait.
Note: Panopto allows you to undo cuts. Open your video and click Edit to open the video editor. Select Cuts to see all the ones you made. From that menu, select > Delete.
