Kaltura Video Editing Tools allow users to edit quizzes, clip or trim media, chop and splice media and add advertisements to media from the Kaltura Management Console. They are a one stop shop for Timeline editing for Kaltura MediaSpace (KMS) and Kaltura Application Framework (KAF) applications.
The current release of the Kaltura Video Editing Tools supports the following features:
- Video Quiz Creator (KMS/KAF only)
- Video Editor
- Clipping a media entry
- Trimming a media entry
- Chop and Splice

Kaltura Video Editing Tools provide a better user experience for all the Timeline features (those previously in the KMS/KAF Timeline Tab), and concentrate the Timeline editing features into a single folder.
