Section 1.1: Uploading a Video

After a video is recorded, it is important to add captions and delete any unneeded footage. Captions are very important for any video watcher. If a person is deaf, they can read the captions in the video. Captions can also help people a second way to know what is said if there is an audio problem with the headset or the video itself. To upload a video to Panopto,

  1. Find your video file on your computer.

Section 1.2: Video Editing

Now that the video is in Panopto, it is time to edit footage into its final version. The video is usually full of rough cuts, and mistakes. By the time we are finished, we will have a much shorter version of the video without any issues. To edit the video,

  1. Click on your video file in the new folder. The video editing page will open. In the top right corner, you need to click on the Edit button.

  2. The video editing page will change into Edit Mode, and give you several tools to work with. The most important tool is at the bottom of the page called the Timeline. It shows the full length of your video with gray lines crossing it. Those gray lines represent your audio. Take some time to listen to your video and listen to when the talking starts and stops.

  3. When you find footage that has no audio or actions taken, we can edit that footage out. Click and drag across the Timeline and you will see a gray bar. Once you are finished, play the video again and you will see that the footage in the gray bar is skipped. Repeat this process until all of your footage is free of bloopers.

Section 1.3: Including Captions

Now that your video is cut and has what you need, we need to include captions. To add captions,

  1. Go to the top left corner and select the Captions button.

  2. Then click the Import Captions dropdown menu. Click Import Automatic Captions.

  3. The captions will be made for you and they will appear in-sync with your audio in the video. Go through each line and check for spelling errors or captions for footage that was cut out. You can play your video several times to check these issues. If you have a spelling error, just click on the word and edit it.
