Copy or Move Videos

Contents

You can move or copy recordings to different folders if needed. The recordings will inherit the sharing and availability settings of the folder they were moved or copied into.

Note: all lecture recordings must remain in the Weblearn module’s Panopto folder, or a subfolder of the module’s folder.

If you want to permanently hide an unsuitable lecture recording from viewers, you can move it to your personal Panopto folder (My Folder).

Edit a copied video

All copied videos will show as a ‘reference copy’ because the copied video is referencing the content from the original video. A reference copy can be identified by the small link icon displayed on the video thumbnail.

If you would like to edit the video you can choose to:

  • Edit original video: the applied editing will appear on the original video and all referenced copies
  • Unlink and edit: the video will be unlinked from the original video and the applied editing will only appear on the copied version

Click on the Edit icon for the video

Choose whether to ‘Edit original video’ or ‘Unlink and edit’

The video can now be edited as required.
