Basic Editing in Panopto

The Panopto editor allows for web based editing from any Mac or Windows computer of Panopto Recordings. 

The Panopto Editor lets you create multiple versions, called "edits", of recorded sessions. The edit called “default” is created automatically, and contains the entire recording. You can modify the default or create additional edits without affecting the original session content. Below are step by step instructions or you can watch the Getting Started: Edit A Video tutorial from Panopto.

5. To delete middle portions of your presentation when the scissors are selected, click on the video timeline at the beginning of the section you'd like to remove and drag to highlight the section you’d like to delete. Again, the eliminated portions are grayed out.
