If you need to upload a video with two feeds (e.g. lecture slides and lecturer cam) to Media Hopper Create, this is possible through https://videomigrator.is.ed.ac.uk. When a video has dual feeds on Media Hopper Create, the user has full control over the size and location of both feeds while they watch the video. This is very useful for dynamic lecture videos when the focus changes between the two feeds and ensures the user can move the secondary feed out of the way of the main feed when needed. To upload a dual feed video:

1. Log in to the media migrator and choose the primary video file (the video feed that will be larger by default).
2. Create a title for this file (this title will be the one that appears for both feeds) and upload the primary video file.
3. After the primary video file has completed upload you will receive a success message.
4. You can now repeat this process to upload the second feed (the smaller feed that will hover on top).
5. The second feed also requires a title but this will not appear on the final video page.
6. The video with dual feeds will appear on your ‘My Media’ section on Media Hopper Create where you can then edit the video details and publish it.

How to publish a video

To upload a video, e.g. from another university source such as Blackboard Collaborate, click Add New on media.ed.ac.uk, then click Media Upload to begin.

When uploading a piece of media to Media Hopper Create, certain fields must be filled in order for the video to be published to a course channel. The required fields to publish can be filled in while uploading the content, or after uploading the content by finding the video and clicking Actions>Edit>Details and filling in the fields below. In order to publish the media fill out:

–Name (The title of the video that will be displayed)

–Description (Will be displayed underneath the video)

–Tags (at least one tag word is required for the video to be published and help people find it easier)

–License Type (This is the copyright license to be applied to the content. I normally select All Rights Reserved The University of Edinburgh from the dropdown menu but this is at the content creator’s discretion.)

Course code, Publisher, Language and Date Created do not need to be filled in order to publish the video but can be useful to fill in to make the video easier to retrieve later on. A publishing schedule can also be set so the media can only be viewed for a certain period of time (useful for perhaps making a video only available during one semester).

– You now need to agree to request automatic subtitles before you can publish your content.

NOTE: Selecting this box does NOT enable auto-captioning, this is done in the next step.

After the details are filled in, on the video uploading page (or on the video editing page under Publish instead of Details), set the Publishing Status to Published (if Published is not selectable, there are missing video details that still need to be filled in). A drop down menu will appear giving the option to Publish in Category or Publish in Channel. Select Publish in Channel and select a channel you manage to publish to the channel.
