Downloading Video from MyMedia and Sharing in OneDrive

So you captured video with CaptureSpace Lite and uploaded that video to your MyMedia area of MediaSpace. Now we need to download that file and share it with the group member who is merging it together with your other group members videos to form one comprehensive video for the group. Below are the directions for downloading and sharing that video to your OneDrive. Access MediaSpace and go to your My Media section and click on the name of your video that you will be downloading and sharing with your group member. The following steps walk you through the process of downloading this content to your laptop.

Step 1: From the Actions below your video select the Edit option.

Step 2: Choose the Download tab and choose the Source checkbox.

Step 3: Click on the Download button that is in the bottom right corner of the video player (see image below).

Step 4: Save the .mpg4 file locally on your laptop so that you can share that to your OneDrive.

Step 5: From your preferred browser go to http://sky.winona.edu and login with your StarID and password. Click on the OneDrive icon.

Step 6: Once in your OneDrive select the Upload button at the top and choose your video file from your laptop directory. Important: video files are typically very large and will take some time. Make sure you are on a good internet connection when uploading these files.

Step 7: The following video shows how to share the video file you created with your group member who will be merging these into one movie.

Sharing Video in OneDrive

Merging Videos

For this project you will need to have one person who takes each of the individual videos that group member creates and complies these into one comprehensive video. You will need to first share these videos with the member of your group that is doing this process on their laptop. Remember, video files can be much larger than you would see with other documents so you may need to use a external hard drive, memory stick, or cloud storage (see OneDrive above). It is strongly recommended that you use your OneDrive for this sharing so that you all have these videos stored somewhere other than your laptop and easy access to these files in the future. In the following sub-sections you will learn how to pull the individual files from your group members and merge these videos into one seamless video.

Merge Video Tool

To merge your videos into one comprehensive group video you will need to follow the directions below using the Merge Video tool from Aconvert.com. Before launching the merge tool, download the video files from you group member to a single project folder on your laptop.

Step 1: Go to https://www.aconvert.com/video/merge/

'Step 2: Make sure the Merge checkbox is selected at the merge tool (See Figure ???? number 1).

'Step 3: Next, you will need to choose the video files (see Figure ???? number 2) from the project folder. Important: You will need to select videos in the order you wish them to appear in the video. This will create a link (see Figure ???? number 3) with all the files in sequence in the Source File.

'Step 4: Click on the Output file link to preview your merged video and within the preivew you will see the download merged video button (see Figure ???? number 4). This new video file (i.e. a mpg4 file) will download to your desktop on the Mac and on PC it will ask you where you want to put the video.

'Step 5: Upload merged video to MediaSpace.
