mpx makes simple video editing even easier
Anyone who works directly with visual media knows that working in a larger view simplifies editing tasks. This has been true since film editors first started working with printed film stock, and is still true in digital media.
Video editors and producers have told us that making edits to video files in mpx would be a whole lot easier if they had more real estate to work in.
We heard the feedback, and made some changes: now you can get all of our in-system editing tools
- Approving and unapproving content
- Creating thumbnails
- Editing chapters
You can also clip an excerpt to create a new video, another new feature which we detail later in this post.
Bigger is better
What we did was to take our standard preview mode in the Media Details pane and add a button that brings you seamlessly into an expanded preview mode.
If you start to play a video in standard preview mode and switch to expanded mode, there’s no interruption in video playback: the video keeps playing and you can edit at will.
Create custom clips
Another requested feature is the ability to create a new media from an excerpt of an existing video. You can now do this in the expanded preview mode.
Click the Create Clip button, and in the expanded preview, set a start time and an end time either by using player controls or typing specific start and end times. When you save the clip, mpx generates a new video of the excerpt you specified.
More details on expanded preview mode and clipping an excerpt to create a new video are available in our Technical Resource Center.
