How to use the YuJa video editor<\/h1>\n

The YuJa video editor is a browser based system that can be accessed through a YuJa link on your Blackboard module. Clicking the YuJa link will take you to your YuJa Media Manager.<\/p>\n

Locate and hover over the video<\/strong> you want to edit and you will see a small menu with Edit<\/strong> as an option, click on edit to launch the video editor<\/strong>, which will open in a new tab.<\/p>\n

Types of video<\/h2>\n

There are two types of video that you can edit, depending on how it was recorded. YuJa calls sections of recording\u00a0Streams<\/strong> and you can edit individual or multiple streams.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A multi-stream YuJa video<\/strong>: these are videos recorded in the YuJa software recorder<\/strong> or browser recorder and these are what you’d typically receive if you record in-class teaching<\/strong> in a learning capture supported room. These videos can have a single stream, or may have two or more depending on devices used during recording. A stream would be created for the desktop recording, with separate streams being recorded from webcams if you chose to include them.<\/li>\n
  2. A single-stream video<\/strong>: these will be recordings that have all recorded content in one single stream. You will have a video like this if you record using your own software and upload the video file into YuJa<\/strong> as a direct upload. A single-stream video will not allow you to edit individual components like desktop recording or webcam recordings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Understanding the editor<\/h2>\n

      \n
    1. Video preview<\/strong>: this will play the video for you so you can view where you’d like to make edits.<\/li>\n
    2. The timeline<\/strong>: contains the streams of your video, Use the timeline marker (blue vertical line) to select a point on the timeline you wish to edit from. The timeline may be zoomed in when you enter. Click the magnifiers or use the slider to zoom in and out and see more of the timeline.<\/li>\n
    3. Streams<\/strong>: the primary stream<\/strong> would typically be your recorded screen<\/strong> with a potential secondary stream being any webcam feed<\/strong> you included. There will also be a wavelength which shows the audio levels. There may be instances where you have a third stream, or where the primary stream is a webcam feed when screen capture isn’t included.<\/li>\n
    4. Captions<\/strong>: the captions sit on the bottom stream of the timeline and are indicated by blocks of text.<\/li>\n
    5. Edits<\/strong>: edits you apply to the recording are usually not applied until the video is saved and will display as box overlays on the timeline. In most cases, you can not include more than one type of edit at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Making cuts and trims<\/h1>\n

      The YuJa editor allows you to remove sections of video from the beginning or end (known as Trimming) or removing sections from the middle (known as Cuts). In most cases making cuts and trims are not likely to be necessary – see Should I edit my screencast?<\/a><\/p>\n

      The process for cutting or trimming sections of videos are the same. To start making a cut, you will need to click the cut icon<\/strong> on the toolbar below the video.<\/p>\n
