Editor’s workspace

The workspace has four areas—left video preview, right video/slide preview, project timeline, and project/revision history—so that you can easily preview, navigate, playback, and edit your presentations as well as manage different projects. With two video preview windows, you can select which video source appears in each of the windows and navigate the presentation to the points where you would like to make your changes using the playback controls, slide controls, or project timeline.

As you edit your content, you can adjust the size of the Web Editor workspace as well as resize all workspace areas individually. To adjust the size of an area, use the “resize area” buttons. For example, to adjust the size of the project timeline relative to the preview windows, drag the vertical “resize area” button .

The video source selected in the left video preview window is the source you will use to edit the presentation. The video thumbnails associated with the selected video source appear in the project timeline along with the presentation’s audio waveform and slide images. You will use the controls in this area to navigate and playback the selected video source as well as the audio associated with the presentation.

In addition to the preview window and playback controls, you will also find a mute button, the presentation name, and the current chapter name or a link for inserting a chapter. Chapters are markers within a presentation that allow your audience to navigate to specific points in a presentation. Once chapters are added, controls for navigating the chapters are also available.

If there are multiple video streams, you will select the video source you want to edit as the left video.

Go to Video Source > Left (Video + Audio) to select the video source you want. The number of video sources available in the list will vary by presentation.

A single audio source and slide stream is associated with all video sources used in the presentation. Additionally, regardless of the video source select in the left video preview window, all edits made are applied across all video sources as well as the audio and slides at the same point in the timeline.

In the right video preview area, you can display any of the available video sources as well as the presentation’s slides. The slide controls are also available in the right video preview area. Navigate the slides using the controls or simply enter a number in the number list to jump to a specific slide. You can also update a slide’s title and add a description by clicking the slide title.

If a slide has not been given a title, click Untitled Slide to add a slide title.

Go to Video Source > Right (Video) to select the video source or slide you want to display in the right video preview window. The number of video sources available in the list will vary by presentation.

The Web Editor’s project timeline allows you to navigate through the presentation-enter a time in the time display or click anywhere in the timeline to navigate to that point in the presentation. It also allows you to edit, move, and replace slides, hide or display slide thumbnail images, add chapters, and insert cuts, fades, and dissolves.

The project timeline includes an audio waveform that provides a visual representation of a presentation's audio levels. This feature is useful for quickly detecting and removing long periods of silence in presentations. Enter a time in the time display or click anywhere in the timeline to navigate to that point in the presentation.

You will manage your project and revisions in the project/revision history area. Click Projects to manage the projects associated with the presentation you launched the Editor against. In the project view, you can open, copy, delete, and restore projects as well as open new ones. Click Revision History to see a listing of all changes made in a project and to restore (go back to) a previous revision.
