Edit video tool

Safetyhub now allows you to edit videos, meaning videos can be trimmed to suit your particular training needs by only showing the most relevant parts. This can be useful if for example, you were carrying out some training on a topic and there was a 2 minute section in the Safetyhub video that you didn't want to show. You can set 'in' and 'out' points on that video so that it plays only the part of the video you want. Another example could be where you simply wanted to show the first 2 minutes of a particular video, for a sharp introduction into some training you might be doing.

To use this feature:
Select the video you want to edit. Click on MORE INFO, then click Embed, followed by Edit Video. Here you will see a series of in and out points you can set, and a new custom URL will be created below that. Using that new URL in your training, will play the video as per your edited entries.
