This article provides instructions for instructor users to download video or audio streams as MP4s to be able to upload them somewhere else or edit them using an external video editor.
The steps to download a Panopto session video are slightly different. View the article:
Instructions
From the video library, hover over the video and select Settings.
In the Settings window, select the Outputs tab.
Underneath the Video Podcast section are dropdown menus to adjust the Type and Quality of the video podcast .mp4. These options control the type of video you are downloading and are listed below.
Once you have set your video podcast preferences, select Apply.
The video podcast will take a few moments to be ready. You may see the message Podcast not ready: Queued, which indicates that the new podcast type and quality setting are being processed
Once the video is done processing, the option Download Podcast will appear (Fig. 6). Select this to download the .mp4 of the video. Please note: you may need to refresh the webpage to see this option.
Type of Video Podcast |
|
|---|---|
Primary Video Only | You will only download a video of the primary video, which is typically the video stream of the speaker. |
Secondary Video Only | You will only download a video of what is being presented in the secondary stream, which is typically a Powerpoint or Keynote presentation, video from an additional camera, or screen capture. The speaker's audio will be included. |
Picture-in-Picture | This is the default type. In the download, the secondary video is featured, and the primary video will appear in the lower right-hand corner. |
Side-by-Side | This will show the primary and secondary streams side-by-side. |
Tile All Streams | This will show all of the streams tiled into one video. The tiles will automatically resize, depending on how many streams were recorded. |
Quality |
|---|
You can choose the quality options for your video from 576p to 1080p. Note: If you recorded at 720p there is no reason to download at 1080p as it will not increase the quality of your video. |
