We added the ability to “cut” or trim off the beginning and end (aka “head and tail”) of presentation videos in presentation media items. At Hybrid and virtual-only meetings, video length is essential for a meeting to run on time. Often, with self-recorded presentations, presenters will inadvertently take a few moments before they feel comfortable starting a presentation. They may also let the recording run for a few moments until they click to conclude. These moments all add up, and with the video cut tool, session leaders, program leaders, and client staff can review an uploaded video content and then—without needing help from a production vendor—trim the video, so it fits in the allotted time.
The video cut tool appears as an icon in the Actions column for the Presentation media items dashboard and Presentation Details page within the Uploads/Attachments card.
There are two ways to cut the video at both ends:
1) Click the arrows to the left and right of the video track bar, or
2) Click and drag the box timer under the video track bar. Select Cut & Close.
