Edit videos

Use Editor to insert cuts (cut material from within a presentation) or crop ends of a presentation. Use the audio waveform in the timeline to identify and remove pauses in your presentation.

Insert cuts

Use Editor to remove portions of your presentation. You can insert plain cuts as well as faded and dissolved cuts. Once you insert a cut, video, slides, and chapters within the cut region are not seen in the final presentation.

Note When you edit a presentation containing captions, cuts are applied to the video and the corresponding captions to ensure they remain in sync. You can make additional updates to the captions in the edited video using Caption Editor in My Mediasite.
