Hi @Hildi_Pardo!
So I may have a solution for you...if you are willing to use the Screencast-o-Matic feature available within Canvas Studio. As you may know, Screencast-o-Matic allows you to record a video of yourself and/or a screenshot online. Then, there is an online video editing interface that you can use to work on your video. I've had some experience using this, but in my opinion, it's pretty clunky, and you have to be using the same computer to edit the video. Meaning, you cannot work on the video at work, go home, and resume working on the video on a different computer. As far as I know, the source video files are stored locally until it is ready to be uploaded into your Studio library. With all of this being said, here's what you can try:
- In Canvas Studio, click on the "+ Create" button, and select "Screencast-o-Matic".
- Click on the "Open" button if prompted to launch the Screencast-o-Matic interface. (You may be prompted to download as well.
- Select if you want to record the "Screen", "Webcam", or "Both"
- Use the handles on the corner of the black/white border to re-size the portion of the screen you would like to record.
- Click the red "Rec" button to start recording.
- When you are finished recording part of your video, click the pause button.
- Click the "Done" button.
- Now, this next part is important! Instead of adding a title and description and clicking "Upload", you are instead going to click on "Edit".
This will bring you into the online editing screen for your recorded video. You can place your cursor anywhere on the timeline where you will see "Tools" and "+ Cut". When you select "Tools", there are a bunch of different things you can use to edit your video...one of which is "Insert" >> "New Recording", "Existing Project", "Video File", etc. You could select "New Recording" to add an additional recording to your first recording. When you are done editing the video for the day, click on the "Done" button. But, DO NOT click the "Upload" button just yet.
Now, let's say that you want to continue working on your video the next day. So, when you log in to Canvas and go to Studio, follow the steps 1-7 that I outlined above to start recording another video...but this time, just record a few seconds and the stop recording. After you click on "Done", notice that there is a link at the top left corner of the screen for "Back to Video Projects". This will take you to a screen where you will see all of the recordings that you have worked on. Click on the video you worked on the day before, and then click on "Edit". This will take you back to the online editing screen so you can continue working on your video.
Once you are all finished with your video, then you can click on the green "Upload" button. But make absolutely sure that you are completely done editing your video...because you won't be able to come back to these screens to re-edit it.
Like I said, it's a bit clunky...especially to get back to your recorded video, but this is the process I've found which works.
If you have any questions, just let me know, and I'll try to help. Good luck!
