Trim a Recording

1.  Hover over the video you want to edit, expand the More menu, represented by three vertical dots, and then select Edit. This will open the Panopto Editor.
   
2. Navigate to the start of the timestamp of where you want to trim.
   
3. Hover over the timeline and a vertical grey bar will appear across all the streams in the timeline.
4. Click and drag the bar to the end of where you want to trim.
   
5. The trimmed area will appear in a dark grey box. Anything in the grey area will not playback in the Panopto viewer once you apply your changes. Editing in Panopto is non-destructive, therefore the trimmed content is not deleted, so you are able to re-add those sections back into your video at any time if necessary.
6. Ensure that the transition between trimmed areas is smooth and no important information has been cut.
7. Once happy with the changes, click 'Apply' in the top right corner.

3. Click 'Add a Stream'.
