We have enhanced Video Studio to improve the user experience for instructors. Instructors can now:
Edit video title
Instructors can edit the title of an audio/video recording or uploaded file after it is saved to the Document.
While editing the document, the instructor can select the pencil icon from the top left of the video block.

For Administrators: Video Studio is a premium solution. We are offering customers a free trial until June 30, 2025. This trial provides access to the full version of Video Studio. Video Studio is set to OFF as a default in test/stage environments. If you want to enable it in your institution’s production environment, you can do that for free until the end of June 2025. In the Administrator Panel, select Configure in The Ultra Experience is Here! module. Select Enable creating/uploading videos using Video Studio. Beyond this date, your institution will have to purchase Video Studio to continue using it.
