Step 7

Select the new video source from the dropdown menu. The video will process and initialize. Once the video is processed and pulled into PlayPosit, the title, captions, Bulb thumbnail, and trimming/cropping of the video can be edited. When all desired edits have been made to the video, select Done. This will return you to the Bulb Designer, where you can add additional video segments and interactions.

Important

Please note that changing the video source will not change the timing of any interactions in the Bulb. Be sure to review the Bulb and adjust the interactions if necessary.

If you're editing a Bulb in a live course, please review PlayPosit Knowledge Base: What happens when I change a bulb after learners take it? (opens in a new tab)
