Kaltura Video Editor

Instructors can use the Kaltura Video Editor to trim the start and end of videos or audio entries. They can also chop and splice segments of media to remove unwanted sections. Use the “Save a Copy” feature to make separate clips of your media and to preserve the original source files.

Select Launch Editor from the Edit Media Page or from the Actions menu when viewing a media entry.

How to use the Kaltura Video Editor

You can access Canvas at: elearn.chemeketa.edu

  • Select your Account in the Canvas Global Navigation menu and then select Kaltura My Media.
  • Choose the edit (pencil icon) located to the right of the video you wish to edit.
  • Select the Launch Editor button. The video editor opens.
  • A timeline of your video displays at the bottom of the editor. The vertical playhead line shows where you are in the video and shows three options for editing your content.
    • Set In (opening bracket icon) allows you to trim the start time for your video.
    • Set Out (closing bracket icon) allows you to trim the end time of your video.
    • Split (scissors icon) allows you to create different video sections to edit and modify. Using Split enables the Fade In/Out option.
  • Above the timeline are the options to Delete or Fade In/Out. Click the delete icon (garbage can) to remove a segment that is selected.
  • Fade In/Out (represented by a line icon with circles on the ends) allows you to set a transition for a clip to fade in or out. Hover over a section and select the desired amount of seconds you’d like the clip to fade in or out.
  • An audio waveform displays in blue, within the video timeline. This lets you visually identify high and low points in the audio. Click the Select Audio button to hide the audio waveform overlay.
  • When you are done editing your video, select the appropriate save option:
    • Save a Copy (preferred): Creates a new file with your edited video while also retaining the original video. This option takes less time to save
      automatically trims existing captions results in a new clip, which means the previous video you shared with viewers will stay the same
    • Save: Selecting this option in the upper right saves the newly edited video, overwriting the original.
