Enable Clipping on a Media Item


Media owners can enable clipping on a media entry for any user with privateRole or higher to create clips from their video.

What is clipping?

Clipping creates a new entry from an existing one and lets you control the start and end time for the new entry. This is very useful if, for example, you want to shorten an intro to a long lecture or clip the lecture into several shorter clips divided by subjects. The clipped content appears in My Media as a new entry and doesn't affect the original one.

How to enable clipping 

  1. On the My Media page, click the pencil icon.
  2. When the Edit Media Page opens, click the Options tab.
  3. Clipping - Click “Enable everyone to create clips from this video”.

For guidance on creating clips from your media, see Kaltura Video Editing Tools - Editor Tab.
