Mediacast allows you to mark cue points - or chapters - in your video and audio. This allows for easier navigation of media, particularly lengthy clips. For instance, a one hour recording of a lecture might have a break at the 30 minute mark. Cue points can be added to indicate the start of the second part of the lecture, allowing viewers to easily jump to this chapter. To add a cue point to your media:
- Click on My Media on top right hand corner
- Click the Edit button for the desired media
- Click the Timeline tab
- Select the "Create a new Chapter" button (the button that resembles a bookmark)
- Add a bookmark:
- Move the blue bookmark indicator to the point in the media where you want to add a cue point
OR
- Play the media to the point where you want your cue point to appear, then pause the video and slide the blue bookmark indicator to this point
OR
