A Video Clip or Segment may be produced directly from the Media Player. Security settings apply to these Clips and Segments, as they do to all media content.
Creating a Clip
Video Clips enable you to send a portion of a video, beginning from a chosen start point and extending to the end of the media content. A Video Segment has both a defined start point and a defined end point.
- Click Manage Media and navigate to the desired media.
- Click Play to open the video in the Media Player.
- Select the Settings wheel. Select Create Clip.
Select whether to create a Clip or a Segment. Enter the required information for either a Clip or Segment.
Note: A Clip begins playing from the current timestamp and plays to the end of the video. A Segment has a defined start and end timestamp.
- Click Copy Link to copy the URL for the Video Clip or Segment. Paste the URL into a text editor or browser to access the Clip.
Enabling Viewer Clip and Segment Creation
The ability to create Clips and Segments must be enabled by the Content Creator. This is accessible through the Details pane.
- Click Manage Media and hover over the desired media.
- Select More... from the menu in the thumbnail.
- Select Links from the sidebar.
- Enable the Clips and Segments toggle.
- Select Save.
Adding Creating a Clip or Segment to the Settings Menu
As with other options in the Media Player, an Administrator will need to add the Create Clip option to the Settings menu. This enables both Clip and Segment creation.
Click Main Menu > Admin Panel.
- Click Branding from the sidebar on the left.
- Click Edit under Media Player Themes.
- Click Configure under Button Options.
In the Available Items list, click on the Add (+) symbol next to Create Clip. If Create Clip is shown in Current Menu Items or Current Play Bar, no further action is needed.
