YuJa (All Users) - Insert or Override a Section of Video
This article walks you through how to insert a video click or override a video clip.
Before making any edits to a video, it is best practice to make a copy of the video for backup. If an error is made editing the video, the backup will provide access to the original content. Follow these instructions to make a copy of the video.
You will have four choices to add a video:
- Current Time - Override
- Current Time - Insert
- At Beginning
- At End
"At Beginning" will insert the new video at the beginning of the current video. "At End" will insert the new video at the end of the current video.
Current Time - Override
You will manually select the location where the new video will be added. This option will override the existing video. For example, Video 1 is 2:00 minutes long. The new video (Video 2) is 30 seconds long.
Video 2 will begin at 1:00 and replace Video 1 for 30 seconds. Video 1 will pick up at 1:30 and finish at 2:00. The thirty seconds of Video 1 are gone.
Current Time - Insert
Using the example above, when inserting a video, Video 1 splits at the timeline (1:00 minutes), inserts Video 2 for 30 seconds, the continues where Video 1 left off. It will increase the length of the video by Video 2's thirty seconds to make the video 2:30.
- Navigate to the thumbnail of the video. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail and click Edit.
- Play the video or scrub the timeline indicator to the time in the video where the new video will begin.
- Confirm that Advanced Mode is active (Displayed in Teal). This can be found on the right side of the toolbar above the timeline.
- On the left side of the toolbar, click the Add a Video button.
- From the Choose Media tab, select the video to be inserted. If the video is not uploaded, click on the Upload Media button to add it to the YuJa library.
- In the Insertion type box, select where and how to insert/override the video. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the window to continue.
- The newly inserted/overridden video will appear in the video stream. Play the video to see the edit.
- Finish any additional edits to the video. Click the Save button at the top of the window. Re-title the video if necessary.
- If you made a backup copy of the original video, click Replace Existing Video. If you did not make a backup copy, click Save as New Video.
