Panopto - How to Record a Video using Panopto for Windows
This guide is intended for instructors that want to record their presentation directly to a specific Panopto folder or D2L course. Start a Recording Open Panopto from the icon on your desktop or taskbar. Sign in using your DMU username and password. Click Sign in. Confirm your settings. On the AV computers in the classrooms you will use the following settings. Video: Select any available video device, or select None to not record with a camera. Audio: This setting varies depending on the room or devices. Select a device and then speak or tap on the mic to see if the audio meter bounces in the recorder. If it does, you’ve selected the correct device. Quality: Standard Capture Computer Audio: If you are not recording in a classroom this setting should be checked. If you are recording in a classroom, some of the renovated classrooms do not require this to be checked to capture sound playing from the computer. Please find the in-classroom instructions that indicate if this setting should be on or off. Or verify if the setting should be on by playing a video or sound file and check the audio meter in the recorder to see if it bounces. Capture PowerPoint: Checked (if recording a PowerPoint) Capture Main Screen: Checked Choose the folder where you would like your recording to be stored. Can’t find your course folder? Look for a folder called Active Courses. It will be grayed out, but you can still click the triangle to see courses inside it. If it’s not under Active Courses it may still need to be provisioned in D2L. If you have time, see the guide on how to provision a D2L course for Panopto. Otherwise, record to your My Folder, but check with your academic assistant or the Solutions Hub afterward to ensure the course was provisioned properly. Once provisioned your recording can be moved from your My Folder to the appropriate course folder. Replace the date and time with the name of the recording. We recommend using the title of the presentation and the name of the presenter. Example: Intro to Med Pharm – Dr. Henry. If you are starting your presentation with a PowerPoint click on the PowerPoint tab. Click Open a Presentation and browse to your PowerPoint. Choose Yes to start your recording when the PowerPoint opens. Otherwise click Record. Give your presentation like normal. Everything you do on the computer will get recorded. Stop a Recording When finished, click on the Panopto icon on the taskbar to pull up the recorder. Click on the Stop button. Check your session name one more time to make sure it is accurate. If not, you may change it here. Click Upload. Your recording will be uploaded to Panopto and available to share or edit within 10-15 minutes, depending on the length of the recording.

Panopto - How to Edit (Trim) a Video
In this article, you will learn how to trim a video in Panopto. Looking for a different editing function? See the links below for additional functions that can be done within the Panopto Editor. How to Insert a Clip from Another Panopto Video How to Add Automatic Captions How to Embed a Quiz into a Panopto Video To trim out parts of a Panopto video, sign into https://dmu.hosted.panopto.com using your normal DMU or D2L credentials. Then locate your video and select Edit (Pencil Symbol). Once you’re in the editor, follow these steps: Locate the timeline below the preview window. When you press play, you will see the red vertical bar move along the timeline. If you are trimming the start of your video, play the video and pause it at the point that you want the video to start. Select the cut tool. Click and drag the gray line at the start of the timeline, to the red bar. The gray line will snap into position with the red bar to allow you to be more precise with your cuts. The same process can be repeated to trim the end of the video. You can also trim out sections in the middle of a video by clicking and dragging in the middle of the timeline. Note: Clicking and dragging within the top row (P1) of the timeline will ensure the whole section gets selected. It is possible to only trim out the video and leave the audio by graying out one of the bottom rows. Trimmed sections will always appear in the timeline but will not playback in the Panopto viewer once you apply your changes. That is because Panopto’s editor is non-destructive, and always allows you to re-add those sections back into your video at any time if necessary. To change a trim, simply drag the edge of the trim and adjust it accordingly. Dragging one edge of the trim into the other edge will remove the trim entirely and restore any content it was covering. In the top right corner of the page you have the option to Undo/Redo recent changes. If you are happy with your changes and want to save them, click Apply. If you want to undo all changes made in this editing session, choose Revert to return the video to its original state. If you still need help, click here to request assistance with Panopto.

Panopto - Adding Automatic Closed Captions to a Video
To add automatic closed captions to a Panopto video, sign into https://dmu.hosted.panopto.com using your normal DMU or D2L credentials. Then locate your video and select Edit (Pencil Symbol).
