Kaltura allows you to change videos after they have already been uploaded to your My Media page. You can alter the video description, adjust which formats are available for download, and even replace the video file entirely.
Accessing the editing options:
- Navigate to My Media.
- On the My Media page, scroll down until you locate the video you want to edit. Select the video's title. Or, select the edit icon in the quick-nav menu in the upper right-hand corner of the thumbnail.
- After selecting the video title, select the Actions dropdown menu located just below your video.
- Select Edit from the dropdown menu.
Here is where you can modify your video's settings based on the options below:
Editing Options
Details tab
From here, you can edit the video's name, its description, and any tags associated with it.
Publish tab
You have the option to keep your videos Private or Published. If you select Published, you will be presented with checkboxes for all courses you're associated with. Once you check the desired courses and select Save, your video will be available in the Media Gallery for the selected course(s).
Options tab
Marking the Disable comments for this media checkbox turns off the comment area for your video. The Close Discussions checkbox prevents additional comments from being made on the video. Checking the Enable everyone to create clips from this video box will permit other users to take clips of your video for their own use.
Collaboration
This tab allows you to adjust the ownership, editing, and publishing settings for your video. See How to share or give away media ownership in Kaltura for more more information.
Thumbnails tab
The Thumbnails tab allows you to change the thumbnail image for the video. You can either upload one from your computer, capture it with a webcam, or have Kaltura pick a still from the video to use automatically
Presenters tab
This feature is useful if you are conducting a video call where other users will present your video. You would add the desired user(s) here.
Download tab
You can choose whether to allow your students or colleagues to download your video. If you wish to allow them to download it, you can select from various download file format options. Simply check the box for the video format you want to make available for download.
Captions tab
The Upload captions file button will permit you to upload additional captions files (e.g., captions in another language). The table below these buttons will display all the currently loaded caption files for that video, along with the language, label, and file type of the caption file in question. The "Actions" cell of this table will permit you to confirm, edit, delete, or re-upload (in left to right order) each respective captions file.
Attachments tab
The Attachments tab permits the inclusion of attached files to your video via the Upload File button. Below this button is a table displaying the currently loaded attachments for your video, as well as their file name, title, description, size, and date of upload. Each row also has an "Actions" cell that will permit you to edit, delete, or re-upload (in left to right order) that attachment.
Timeline tab
This lets you create a timeline for your video with different chapters for different sections of your video, making it easier for users to navigate to specific information.
Replace Media tab
The Replace Video tab lets you replace your video's original source file with another version. You can upload a file from your current device by clicking the Choose a file to upload button.
Launching the Kaltura Editor
To the right of the video, you will see a Launch Editor button. Selecting this takes you to Kaltura's direct video editing tool. Within this editor, you can trim the start and/or end of your video or chop and splice to remove a segment from the middle of your video. For more information on how to use this editing interface, see Kaltura's Editing Media Using the Video Editor resource.
