Overview

After uploading media (especially video or audio), the next thing to work on is "Clipping" which allows you to trim specific segments of your media or select specific segment(s) of your media to publish them as new media. VIDIZMO provides its users with the ability to clip media from media manager. Learn about How to Upload Media.


Using this functionality one can trim away unwanted content at the beginning or end of the clip, or both. It also allows the benefit of segregating your videos into different sections based on the multiple segments being created after clipping.


Before you start

Only Manager+ users can Clip media.


Steps

I. From the Homepage, log in using a Moderator+ role and navigate to the Media Manager.

  1. Click on the menu icon on the top left-hand corner of the screen to bring up the left navigation pane.
  2. Click on the down arrow to expand the Admin section and navigate to the Media Manager.


II. From the Media Manager screen.

1. Click on the overflow menu of the media that needs to be clipped.

2. Select Clip to proceed.


 Read on Understanding Media Manager. 



III. What To Do on the Clip screen:


You will be redirected to the Clip screen where you can take the following steps:

  1. You can select the start time.
  2. Enter the end time of the video.
  3. Accuracy check is for precision in media size, bit rate, and audio bit rate for the clipped media. This check is enabled by default, unchecking it will speed up the clipping workflow, but you may face the voice and video synchronization issues, therefore, it is ideal to remain this check enabled.
  4. Select Transcode if you want to generate multiple renditions for your clipped media. The number of renditions generated would depend upon the enabled encoding profiles and the original video file which is being clipped.
  5. Select Generate Thumbnail if you want to capture a new thumbnail for your clip. If it is unchecked, the thumbnail from the original media will be displayed on the clipped media.
  6. Select Insights if you want to view Video Insights later on.
  7. Click on the + icon.

 

IV. When you click on the + icon video result will appear on the right-hand side of the screen, and you can also edit and delete the selected clip.



Note: You can also add multiple clips from the same video using clipping marker or by selecting start time and end times for each clip as described above. VIDIZMO will stitch all of these clips together in a single video for you.


V. Click on the Save as New or Save and Close button to proceed.



VI. A popup will appear: Media has been published successfully.  


Media settings offer many other functions apart from just clipping. Learn more on Understanding Media Settings.
