How do I trim footage from the beginning and end of a video?

Open a video in the Kaltura Video Editor and follow these steps to trim footage from the beginning and end of a video --

Move the Real Time Marker to where you would like the new beginning of the video to be

If needed, use the Zoom slider to zoom into or out of parts of the timeline, for more precise placement of the Real Time Marker

Click the "[" icon to mark the new in-point for the video

Once you've marked the new in-point, the timeline contents to the left will be grayed out.

Move the Real Time Marker to where you would like the new end of the video to be

Click the "]" icon to mark the new out-point for the video

Once you've marked the new out-point, the timeline contents to the right will be grayed out.

The video will now be highlighted in yellow with the new in-points and out-points indicated

When finished click "Save a Copy" to save the trimmed copy of the video

We recommend that you always click "Save a Copy" rather than "Save".  This will preserve the original video untrimmed, in case you need to access it again later.

Enter a title and click "Create". The trimmed video will then be available in your My Media in Canvas.
