Kaltura My Media – Options (Clipping)

If you would like to enable other users to create clips of one of your entries, you can do so by enabling clipping from the Options Tabs from an entry’s Edit page.

This option is useful if you would like someone enrolled into one of your courses to create a full or partial copy of your entry without them having to download a file and upload it manually into their own My Media.

Enabling Clipping for an entry

1. From inside Kaltura My Media, select the entry and access its Edit page.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Next, click the checkbox labelled Clipping: “Enable everyone to create clips from this video”.
4. Lastly, click Save.

Creating a Clip

Before a user can create a clip, your media entry must be published to a course Media Gallery. If you are unsure how to do this, please refer to the Kaltura – Publishing Media guide.

Once the entry is published:

1. Have the student or staff member open their Learning Hub course.
2. From the Activities dropdown in the navbar, have them select Kaltura – Course Media Gallery.
3. Inside the course Media Gallery have them click on the desired entry
4. On the entry’s preview page, have them click the ellipses and choose Create a clip.
5. The user will be taken to a modified version of the Kaltura Editor Tool. Here, they can trim or adjust the clip as needed.

6. When the user clicks on Save a Copy it will save a new copy of the (modified) entry into their own My Media repository.
