  • Only the owner or co-editor can modify the video.
  • Any edits made will cause the video to be reprocessed and may take at least an hour to process.
  • The Kaltura web editor is limited in function and is only recommended for basic edits such as trimming off the beginning and/or end of a video.
  • YouTube videos cannot be trimmed or edited in the Kaltura editor to protect content copyright.
