Create and save a video clip
You can create and save video clips from any video you have access to on Informit.
Step 1
To create a clip, find your video and select Clip to display the clipping tool.
Step 2
The Create Clip option will appear under the video.
Use the sliders to adjust the start and end points of your clip. Name and save your clip and add a description, if desired.
Permissions: Please ensure that you select the default Public option if you wish to share the clip with others. The private setting makes the clip accessible only to you.
Your clip may take some time to process. When it has been created successfully, you'll see a confirmation message.
