2 Introduction Teaching staff sometimes wish to edit and upload movie recordings other than those recorded using the MyMedia Capture Application tool in the Common Teaching Areas (CTAs). These might be recordings of field trips or laboratory experiments. In these cases, it might be useful to add captions to highlight details of the trip or experiment. Sometimes, it might be appropriate to download a MyMedia recording and edit it, before uploading it back to MyMedia. This might involve breaking it into shorter segments, and adding titles and captions. If you wish to edit your MyMedia Recording you will need to use a video editing program. There are many video editing programs that can be used to edit video. Windows Movie Maker is free and simple to use and can be downloaded from the web. Please contact the Service Desk ( or service.desk@adelaide.edu.au) should you have problems installing Movie Maker on your University computer. In this guide, we will show you how to do use MyMedia Web Application, Windows Movie Maker and MyUni to deploy your new video for students to view. MyMedia MyMedia Capture Application is used to capture recorded lecture content in Common Teaching Areas (Lecture Theatres and Tutorial Rooms) using audio visual equipment.
