Body
Multiple videos can be merged into one video file. For example, 3 students working on a group presentation can merge individually recorded videos into one video presentation.
(Note: When merging, the older video created first will appear first in the video after the merge. Only original versions of videos can be merged – ie: a copy cannot be merged. Allow ample time for merging to process.)
This document includes the following:
- The process of merging videos
- Steps students need to take to share videos/folders to allow other students to edit and merge
Merging Videos
STEP 1
Hover over the video you would like merged into another video and select “Settings”
STEP 2
Select “Manage” from the menu items on the left
STEP 3
Click the dropdown menu and select the folder of the video you will be merging the current video in to
STEP 4
Click the next dropdown menu and select the video you will be merging the current video in to
Then click “Merge”
A warning message will appear – click “OK” to complete the merge
Sharing Videos & Folders for Group Editing and Merging
STEP 1
Create a new folder that can be shared with other users
(note: ‘My Folder’ cannot be shared. A new sub-folder under ‘My Folder’ needs to be
created for sharing. If you already have a created folder you intend to use, ignore this step)
Click “Create” and select “New Folder”
STEP 2
Name the folder and ensure the parent folder displays “My Folder”
→ Next to “Options” - Deselect: “Inherit permissions from the parent folder”
→ Click “Create Folder”
STEP 3
Hover over your video and select “Settings”
Under the Overview tab next to “Folder,” click “Edit”
From the drop-down options, select your created sub-folder underneath “My Folder” and then click “Save”
(Note: You have now moved the video to the folder that can be shared with other users for editing)
STEP 4
Click “Browse” on the left side of the screen
Select the folder you created where the video resides that you intend to have merged
You should then see the folder name display on the top left of the page
STEP 5
Navigate to the top right of the page and click the settings wheel
Select “Share” from the menu options on the left
STEP 6
Under “People and Groups,” type in the OW email address of the user you want to share with and hit enter on the keyboard
Change the role in the dropdown from viewer to “Creator”
Then click “Send” when you are finished adding users to finalize sharing
(note: the users you share ‘creator’ access with to your folder will be able to merge/edit videos in that folder)
