Setting a Range and Trimming the Beginning or End in Kaltura
To trim media or to create a clip, you must first define the range from which you wish to keep or make a clip. There are many ways to set a range, and all can be used depending on the accuracy needed and personal preference.
OPTION 1
Drag the yellow handlebars at the start or endpoints with your mouse to set the range which will trim the video.
OPTION 2
Move the Real-Time Marker (blue box on the timeline) to the point to make the edit. Drag either Timeline handlebar to snap it to the Real-Time Marker or click on the trim beginning or trim end to snap to that point.
Cutting From the Middle in Kaltura
Navigate to the position on the timeline where you need to cut the video.
Click on the scissors icon.
You will now have two sections. Drag the timeline handlebar(s) to cut the desired section or use the Real-Time Marker to snap to the point.
Once you save the video, the system will join the two sections for you.
Fade In and Fade Out in Kaltura
Sometimes a fade in or fade out is added after cutting a section from the middle.
Select the section in which you will make the fade. If you have only one section, you do not need to select it.
Click on the fade icon and enter the number of seconds for each fade.
