Manage media

This guide covers how to edit and manage your media in your KAF application, offering options like metadata management, publishing settings, thumbnail customization, and more, so you can ensure your content is exactly how you want it.

Removing a video from your course page does not unpublish it in Kaltura.

Keeping your media library organized and up-to-date is important.

When you upload media, it’s private by default and accessible only through My Media.

Discover how to enhance your media content by adding attachments in both Kaltura Video Portal and LMS Video applications.

You can upload a new version to replace video and document entries (such as PDFs, DOCs, and DOCXs) while retaining their associated metadata, URL, and analytics.

Media owners can transfer media ownership to someone else, which can be useful, for example, if the owner is leaving the organization or switching responsibilities and someone else needs to take ownership of the media.

Kaltura automatically generates a default thumbnail for each video, capturing a frame at the three-second mark.

Chapters and slides enhance the viewer's experience by providing structured navigation and additional visual elements within videos.

Scheduling media in your LMS allows you to control when your content becomes viewable to your audience.

Clipping creates a new entry from an existing one and lets you control the start and end time for the new entry.

Media owners can add metadata (such as name, description, and tags) in different languages for their media via the Languages tab of the edit media page.

Comments allow viewers to engage with your content by sharing thoughts, asking questions, and fostering discussions, helping to build a sense of community.

Media metadata is the info that describes a media file, like title, author, date, tags, and format. It helps you organize, search, and manage your content more easily.

You can upload caption files for any media you own or have editing privileges for.
