How to Edit a Two Source Kaltura Capture Video With Adobe Premiere Rush

Resolution

The Video Editor in MiVideo does not have this capability. Instead use video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Rush, which is demonstrated in this article. See the Install and Activate Adobe Premiere Rush article for more information about obtaining this software. Other video editing software applications can also be used to edit the two sources in a similar fashion.

Note: before beginning, both videos should be saved locally on your hard drive. 

• If the videos are in your My Media and you do not have a copy saved on your hard drive, see the How to Download Personal Media Uploaded to My Media article
• If you recorded the videos using Kaltura Capture, see the Find Kaltura Capture Recordings on Your Local Computer article to learn where the videos saved
• If the recordings were created in Zoom, see the Record Meetings in Zoom article to learn how to access cloud recordings or locate local recordings on your hard drive
