Detailed Information
Adding Media to Kaltura

A video presentation consists of a document and a video file, synchronized together, Document formats supported are: ppt/pptx, pdf, doc/ docx, xls/ xlsx.
After a document is uploaded, it is converted to a format suitable for display in the presentation. This may take a few minutes. After your content is ready it is displayed in the document list.

Kaltura and My Media
- Uploading Media
You can upload media from the My Media (Brightspace homepage) or Media Gallery (under Course Tools) interface via the "Add Media" menu. On the next screen, click "Add New."
- Editing and Trimming Media
Your My Media page lists the media that you created. In addition to all normal interactions with media, you can:
- Edit media
- Select a thumbnail
- Create a Clip
- Trim a Video
- Upload and manage captions
- Publish media items
- Disable or close comments
You can trim out parts of video from the Edit Media page. The trimming tool enables you to edit your videos visually by setting the start time and end time of your media. Sometimes, you may want to trim the start and/or end of a video to remove redundant parts. Trimming is performed on the source media, modifying that video permanently.
Trimming is only available to the owner of the video and is only accessible in My Media.
