Editing Your Panopto Video

Since the Panopto Editing tool is considered fairly robust, this training is going to focus on the basics of editing video "streams". Information on generating and editing captions can be found on the Adding Captions to Panopto training page and training on editing slides can be found in the Editing Panopto Slides page.

Trimming / Cutting a Video

If you’re new to editing or worried that you might over trim and ruin your recording, don’t worry! Panopto operates on a non-destructive model – which means you can always undo a trim.

To begin trimming or cutting the video, select the scissors icon found in the ribbon above your timeline. Use the Scissors Tool in Panopto to Trim

Move the mouse over the track until a grey line appears.
