Re: Bulk Scheduling Changes Feature Request (Remote Recorders)
Add to that:
4 addendum) Should be able to put the Canvas creator list as owner so anyone on the course team can approve videos or get these messages.
5) Change from VOD to Webcast (would be nice for same link to work for live webcasts as well)
Re: Bulk Scheduling Changes Feature Request (Remote Recorders)
💯Hard Agree
Bulk scheduling needs to have a Batch Action capability no different than the basic/regular UI tools the people with "Create" role privileges have.
Schedulers should be able to do a select all, or select "Many" and change
1.) Start|End time or
2.) Date Pattern or
3.) Room Recorder assigned, or
4.) owner of the video.
Each one of these should be enabled to be batch edited. Furthermore, individual occurrences of a series should still be tagged as a "Reservation" or a "Series" so that bulk actions can take place at the level of being tagged as a child of a Parent Series. Definitely needs that level of fundamental tagging that allows you to delete a series Parent and scoop up ALL the child occurrences. Or do a batch edit on a Parent an have it cascade down to all the Child occurrences in a series (again those key parameters times/dates/recorder/owner).
Re: Bulk Scheduling Changes Feature Request (Remote Recorders)
4 years later and here I am checking on this subject.
Once events are scheduled for recording, if a faculty wants a change, it is a laborious process to manually go in and edit scheduled recorded events. Often times, it is easier to delete them and re-schedule them again with the changes.
One thing that can't be fixed with the above method is changing the owner of the videos. As I am scheduling them, it defaults to me. However, if a video is restricted by a faculty member, when a student wants to view a video, the access request comes to me as the owner. I've been spending my morning editing existing events and changing that over to the faculty for each course. There has to be a better way to do this - it would be great to set the owner when I schedule the actual events, but in the very least, it would be great to bulk edit the existing scheduled recordings.
Will this ever be a priority?
Re: Can creators retain access to their Panopto videos after course deletion?
Hi, first of all: thank you!
I (re)did the test of new course, video upload as instructor, etc.
The uploader of the video (instuctor) loses all access to the video after course deletion. Even with a direct link to the video, a no permission error shows up :(
But your script sounds promising! Will have a look into it. Adapting course categories and maybe a filter of users, cause we only want the intrsuctors to keep access, not the students, and it sounds like it would help a lot.
Thanks!
Re: Change default Podcast format / output at user or folder level
We could also really use something like this at Stanford. We frequently need to change the video podcast output type for multiple videos at once, so this feature could save us a lot of time and effort too.
Re: Download Video in 1080p
Honestly, I've never recorded anything "real" in Ultra HD using Panopto Capture because Panopto maxes outputs at 1080p. I know the 1080p recording option in Panopto Capture results in a 1080p output. I did go back to the documentation to verify that Ultra HD captures should result in a 1080p output, so I broke out my 4k camera and recorded a quick video which did result in a 720p output. Then just as a sanity check, I recorded a similar video on the same camera, only on the "HD" recording mode in Capture which resulted in a 1080p60 output as expected.
I'm going to throw a ticket to support and see what they say, but it seems like maybe there is a bug with the Ultra HD mode.
Re: Permanent stream url/Stream key for webcasts
This would also be a solution for us at Tilburg University. We currently use Vimeo out of necessity for our event halls to achieve this goal. Each hall has its own permanent live stream link. In addition, we often record the sessions for Panopto. This is, of course, a bit redundant. Moreover, we prefer to use one platform for video. However, the burden of communicating different live stream links each time is too great.
Re: Change default Podcast format / output at user or folder level
Having this feature would be very beneficial. Our broadcast group that shoots classes to repurpose for other more produced online content could use this to set the output of an entire term to the highest secondary screen output possible.
Re: Change default Podcast format / output at user or folder level
100%. Hugely needed!
Re: Download Video in 1080p
There are two settings for this, but in many cases the webcam being used by the students is going to be the limiting factor. The first is a site setting that will bump up the default that podcast downloads will aim for. This can be set up to 1080p60 out of the box. Next, you are able to select how a video should be encoded in the session settings. If you open the session settings and select the "Outputs" tab, you can then select the layout and the quality. If either of these parameters are changed, the Podcast media will be encoded again which can take a bit depending on the specific session.
Here's a guide on those settings, fig. 1.2 shows the UI: https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Download-Video-or-Audio-Streams-as-MP4s
