Videos are at the heart of many courses — but until now, even small adjustments meant switching to an external editing tool. That's over: the new video editor is built right into the Coursebuilder.

✂️ Video editor in the Coursebuilder: Cut clips without leaving the platform.

Open the three-dot menu on any uploaded video and choose "Edit video" — all the editing tools are right at hand:

  • Trim videos with the yellow handles and slide segments around freely
  • Split clips into multiple segments
  • Remove unwanted parts with Delete
  • Return to the original state anytime with Reset

This lets you adjust course videos in seconds — ideal for breaking long recordings into compact learning units or cutting superfluous parts out of existing course videos.

🗂️ Your source file stays safe: Versions instead of losses.

While editing, your original footage always remains protected:

  • Your source file is always preserved in the Resources tab
  • Every saved version is stored alongside it — nothing gets overwritten
  • You can fall back to the uncut version at any time

That gives you the freedom to try out different cuts — for different courses or audiences, for example — without ever losing footage.
