After Lecture Capture guide

Echo includes an online editor that you can use to make simple cuts and adjustments to your content directly through the web browser. The editor makes it easy to trim the beginning or end of your video, cut sections from the middle, or make new clips from a shorter section of the recording. You may want to use the editor to do the following:

• Trim the beginning and end of a scheduled recording as students are arriving and leaving.
• Cut confidential or copyrighted information from a lecture.
• Create a short section of a lecture to share as a separate video in another module or a different academic year.

Editing with Echo360 is non-destructive, so you can revert back to the original recording if needed. 

If you have already connected your Lecture Capture recordings to the relevant Moodle module you can quickly access the recordings from Moodle.

1. Open the relevant module
2. Select the link to Lecture Capture in the Module dashboard.
   • On Grid format, open the Block drawer and navigate to the Activities block, select the link to External tools and then select the link to the Lecture Capture activity.
3. This will open up a list of links of all Lecture Capture activities that you have added to your module.

   

4. Select the link to the relevant Lecture Capture from the list of Lecture Capture links available on your module.
5. Open the video menu to the right of the relevant recording that you want to edit and select Edit Video. A warning will display. Select OK to continue.

In some cases, you may prefer to use your own desktop software, such as Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro, to edit Echo recordings. In order to do this, you must first download the original recording from Echo, and import it into your application of choice.

1. You can download from your Library, or from the Courses page on Echo360.  
2. Find the recording you want to download. 
3. Select the three dots on the recording to open the menu.
4. Select More Actions, choose Download. 

You are then presented with a screen asking you to select the quality and source of the download.

Data and video sources must be downloaded separately, and produce an MP4 file. Audio can also be downloaded separately as an MP3 file.
