Edit the Video in Panopto

In the Panopto video editor there is a preview window and a timeline which contains the video clips and corresponding audio.

Trim a Video   

1. Play the video from the beginning and pause it right before where the cut should start.
   
2. A red line will appear at that point in the video. Select the cut tool [A].
   
3. Select and drag the gray line to the red line to trim out that section of the video [B].

   

4. The gray line will snap into position with the red one. Repeat this step for other sections in the video by pausing at the desired point and using the cut tool to select the section by dragging the cursor over it. 
5. To undo a cut, select the undo icon [A].
6. When done editing, select Apply [B].
