This guide explains how to perform basic edits to your ReView video captures.
- Login to Blackboard, and select a module.
- Click on Module Tools in the left hand menu, and then ReView Video Library in the flyout menu on the right.
- Hover over the thumbnail of the video you wish to edit. Click on Edit. This will open the editor in a separate browser window.
NOTE: Edits in ReView are non-destructive. You can retrieve your original recording at any point.
Primary and Secondary Tracks
- ReView editor comprises primary and secondary streams. Typically, the primary track comprises the audio (voice over) track and if available, the primary video feed.
Trimming a Video
- To edit the start and end of a recording, click the Scissor icon.
- You will be presented with tabs both at the beginning and end of the timeline.
- Click and drag the tabs to the desired position. The light areas will be kept and the greyed out areas will be edited out.

- To edit out a section in the middle, simply click (mouse down) and drag an area on the track.
- To remove an edit, join the tabs.
Edit Individual Tracks
