Last Updated: September 12, 2024

1. Sign into the Panopto web portal  

2. Hover over the session you want to edit and click the Edit button.

3.  Click Slides on the left-hand menu

4. Click Add a presentation to:

• Add an entire presentation, if slides weren’t captured separately during recording
• Add 1 or 2 slides to replace out-of-date slides in the video
• Add extra slides needed to fill out the video

Pro Tip: Make a small PowerPoint with only the updated slides to reduce processing time and confusion in the editor.

5. Add slides to the timeline

• Click on the timeline to move the red line (a.k.a. the playhead) to the spot where you want the slide to appear
• Click the plus symbol on a individual slide to add it to that spot.
  • Hover over a slide’s time and click the More menu (three dots) to delete  a slide or precisely edit its start time

During playback, the screen capture stream (S1) is shown to the viewer by default.

After you edit the slide stream (SL) you need to hide that portion of the screen capture stream (S1) so viewers only see the new slide. See Panopto’s instructions on trimming out a portion of a single stream.

If a slide stream was not recorded, you should be able to:

1. Add new slide(s)  to the presentation (this creates a slide stream)
2. Set the new slide to appear at the time you want it shown
3. Edit the screen capture stream so it disappears. It will be grayed out on the timeline

If no camera was recorded you may be able to replace slides, but you won’t be able to force the viewer to watch those slides without cutting out some of the audio stream along with the screen capture.
In this case,  you should 

1. Make a video of the section the needs updating (do not record your camera!)
2. Trim the existing video to remove the bad section
3. Use Add a Clip to add the small recording into the larger one
