Create a clip from a video

Create clips from your videos and, if the original uploader allows it, videos in the course gallery.

2. Click the title of the video you want to create a clip from. The video and information will appear on the right hand side
3. Click Create Clip. If you are in the Course Gallery and this doesn’t appear, the original uploader has not allowed other users to create clips.
4. You can change the In and Out points of the clip by
   1. Manually setting the Start Time and End Time
   2. Dragging the handles on the timeline to the required point
   3. Clicking Set In or Set Out to change the in/out point to the current time in the video (eg so you can play the video, then pause it at the point you require)
5. Click  if you want to view the clip before saving it
6. Amend the title and description, if required
