Interactive videos can be assigned to learners through WeVideo Classes or an LMS integration if available in your license. Learn how to build interactive videos in WeVideo using content from YouTube or Vimeo with this step-by-step guide.
1. Launch the interactive video editor
The interactive video editor can be launched from both the Multimedia Creation and Interactivity spaces.
Multimedia Creation
Select Interactive Videos and then Create interactive video.
Interactivity
Select Interactive Videos and then Create New Interactive Video.
2. Import videos
Select YouTube or Vimeo as the video host. (Want to use a WeVideo creation instead? See: How do I add Interactivity to my WeVideo project?
Search a video using keywords and select one to use.
If a direct link is available, users can paste it into the Input URL section to import. Only links from YouTube and Vimeo can be imported through the Input URL video source option.
Click Done. Select Customize to add captions, trim, and crop.
Select Video Segments from the top menu and click Add Video to import more. Videos don’t have to be imported from the same source.
(Optional:) Reorder videos by toggling the Enable drop and drag reordering button. Toggle off when finished.
3. Edit imported videos
Click the Pen icon and select Edit Video Segment.
Select Current YouTube Video.
4. View and upload captions
Click Captions.
WeVideo automatically streams captions from YouTube and Vimeo when available. If captions are not visible right away, click the Play button in the left corner to let captions stream.
User-owned videos
Upload captions by dragging the caption file to the upload section.
5. Trim and crop videos
Click the Trim & Crop tab. Use the green and red flags to trim the video. Trims only affect the interactive video and not the original.
Add internal crops by clicking Advanced and customizing settings. Move the white play head to the time stamp for the crop. Select Add Internal Crop.
Adjust start and end times. Videos in between these times are not displayed to learners. Crops only affect the imported video in Interactivity and not the original.
Repeat steps above as needed.
