Kaltura: Edit Slideshow Chapters in a Kaltura Capture Recording
Edit Slideshow Chapters in a Kaltura Capture Recording
Kaltura Capture inserts chapters for each slide it detects in a PowerPoint slideshow recording. You can also insert chapters in the timelines of other videos in My Media to draw student attention to key points in a video. Video chapters enable students to jump ahead to any slide or key point in the video player. Create and edit video chapters using Kaltura My Media as follows:
Add or Edit a Chapter
- After you have uploaded your recording, go to My Media in your Canvas course menu, and to the right of the thumbnail of the video you want to edit, click the pencil icon.

- Below the video, click the Timeline tab. Here you can view all the chapters and slides in the video.

- To create a chapter, move your mouse pointer to a time on the timeline (A) and click the Create New Chapter icon (B).

-
This opens the cue point edit form. You can also open this form when you click on an existing chapter. After you create a chapter, you can add a thumbnail (A), edit the chapter title (B) and the description (C), and fine tune the location of the chapter (using the up/down arrows) (D). The new chapter location will be shown on the timeline above (E). When finished, click Save.

- To access the same form and edit existing chapters or chapters you have added, click the blue chapter icons on the video timeline.
Delete a Chapter
- In My Media, click the edit icon next to the video you want to edit.

- Below the video, click the Timeline tab. This will display all the chapters and slides in the video.

- Click on the cue point of the chapter you want to delete from the timeline of the video.

- At the bottom right, click Delete Chapter.

Add or Edit Slides
- In My Media, at the right of the video you want to edit, click the pencil icon.

- Below the video, click Timeline.

- Position your mouse to a location on the timeline where you would like to add a slide (A). At left of the timeline, click the slide icon (B).

This opens the Upload Slide form. You can also open this form when you click on an existing slide. In here you can upload a new slide (A), replace an existing slide (B), edit the slide title (C) and the description (D), and fine tune the location of the slide (using the up/down arrows) (E). The new slide location will be shown on the timeline above (F). When finished, click Save.

- Once the upload and processing is complete, you can click and drag slide icons across the timeline to manually arrange them. Move each slide to its desired point in the timeline and save.

- On the Upload Slide form, click View in Player to see your changes. The slides will display in the bottom right corner of the video (the default view is Picture in Picture). Viewers have the option to change their view.
Note: the double arrows on the video allow the user to switch between the primary focus. In these examples, the video is the primary focus (large view), but by clicking on the arrows, the slide would be made the primary focus:
