[ARCHIVED] Create a video an assignment

[jstee444]

I'm a student and I need to create a simple video through Canvas, just one camera that's mounted on my computer screen. Every link that I try isn't helping. Where can I go for help?

Hi  @jstee444 ...

There are several resources for you that may help as you are trying to create your video.  Here are a few that come to mind:

• How do I submit a media file as an assignment submission?
• How do I record a video using the Rich Content Editor as a student?
• How do I record a video using Flash in the Rich Content Editor as a student?
• How do I upload a video using the Rich Content Editor as a student?
• How do I upload and embed a media file from my computer in the New Rich Content Editor as a student?
• How do I record media using the New Rich Content Editor as a student?
• How do I embed media files from Canvas into the New Rich Content Editor as a student?

Another option would be to talk with someone from the Canvas Help Desk staff.  Here's more information about how to contact them: How to contact Canvas Support.

I hope one or more of these Guides will be of help to you, Janet.  Sing out if you have other questions about this...thanks!

The actual problem is that I cannot locate the rich content editor anywhere. I am clueless as to where it is. I made a video but can't see how to edit it from the record media screen. Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello  @jstee444 ...

Depending on which version of the Rich Content Editor (RCE) that your school has enabled, one of these two tutorials will describe exactly what it is and where to find it:

There isn't much that you can do to edit a video once you've recorded it within Canvas, unfortunately.
