Getting Started with My Mediasite Editing Mediasite Videos & Slides You can also perform basic video editing with My Mediasite’s web-based Editor. The Editor allows you to cut out video and audio segments as well as add, delete, and re-order “slides”. (Slides are the screen captures created using the Mediasite Slideshow + Video and Slideshow + Audio recording options.)
Editing Requirements: TIP: In order to edit videos in mediasite, you will need to run Silverlight along with a compatible internet browser (Internet Explorer and Firefox are recommended). If you don’t have Silver light installed, you will be prompted to do so when accessing mediasite’s editing options. Check if your internet browser can support Silverlight at: http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/locale/en-us/html/installation-win-SL5.html
Launching the Editor: 1. Log in to My Mediasite and click a presentation’s title. 2. Click Edit Video or Edit Slides depending on which material you want to edit. The appropriate Editor will open in a separate browser window. 3. The Editor will open in a separate browser window with a project based on the presentation loaded.
Editing Video: Web Editor’s Workspace
The Web Editor’s workspace is organized is divided into four areas—left video preview, right video/slide preview, project timeline, and project/revision history—so that you can easily preview, navigate, playback, and edit your presentations as well as manage different projects. With two video preview windows, you can select which video source is displayed in each of the windows and navigate the presentation to the points where you would like to make your changes using the playback controls, slide controls, or project timeline. Use the Editor to cut material from within a presentation or crop from the ends of a presentation. Use the audio waveform in the timeline to identify and remove pauses in your presentation.
Making Cuts To insert a cut within a presentation: 1. In the timeline, select a portion to cut by clicking and dragging, or "scrubbing" the timeline cursor.

2. Click Cut Time and specify the type of cut: •Press C to insert a cut. At a cut, the presentation simply skips to the end of the cut and continues the presentation. •Press F to insert a cut with fades. Fades gradually darken video to black and mutes the audio level. •Press D to insert a cut with dissolve. Dissolves smoothly fade in and out from one end of the cut to the other. 3. Adjust the lengths of the cut and fade (or dissolve) using the cut and fade handles, respectively. 4. Move the selection handle to move the cut. Click the selection handle to display a dropdown menu you can use to change your cut option. 5. To retain a portion of the timeline that lies within a cut segment, use the timeline cursor to select the portion you want to retain and click Uncut Time. 6. Click Undo or Redo to back out of changes as needed. Once you have completed your edits, select the Commit option and Commit to Current (or New if you wish to keep the original presentation intact).
