  Login using your Monash authcate.
  
  
  
  
  

• Step 2 - Open the file to be edited
  
  Upon logging in, the echoes tab will be selected and a list of your recordings will appear.
  
  Recordings are separated into the following categories: available, unavailable, archived or deleted.
  
  In the list of recordings, hover your mouse over the relevant file until the buttons appear.
  
  Select edit.
  
  
  
  Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Edit Media.
  
  Wait while the Echo360 Presentation Editor loads.

• Step 3 - Edit the file
  
  To remove the beginning or end of the file, use the sliders.
  
  To remove a segment from the middle, use the yellow markers.

  Drag the left slider in to remove the beginning of the file.
  
  Drag the right slider in to remove the end of the file.

  Drag the left marker in to the start of the cut.
  
  Drag the right marker in to the end of the segment.

  You can preview your edited media file by selecting the 'Preview' tab and clicking the 'play' arrow.
  
  
  
  

• Step 4 - Save or publish the file
  
  
  • Publishing
    Note: 'Publishing' the edits sends the media file to processing - after roughly 30 minutes (depending on file size) it will replace the original recording and be available for download through Echo360.
    
    Select the 'Save' tab.
    
    Click on the 'Process edits' button.
    
    Wait for a confirmation message saying that the edited media file has been submitted.
    
    
    
     
  • Saving
    Note: 'Saving' the edits allows you to return and continue editing later. It does not publish or process the changes.
    
    Select the 'Save' tab.
    
    Entering a version description is optional.
    
    Click the 'Save Edits' button.
    
     
  • Save New
    Note: 'Save New' allows you to create a new media file using the specified edits - it will not replace the original media file.
    
    Select the 'Save New' tab.
    
    Enter a title for the presentation and, if desired, a description and version number.
    
    Under 'New Location', select the current term, your course code, and the highest-valued (most recent) 'section'.
    
    Click the 'Save as New' button.
