Films on Demand & Streaming Video: For Faculty

Films on Demand allows users to select and save custom clips or segments. So if you only need your class to see specific sections of a video, you can select those segments, create a custom playlist, then link to or embed the playlist in Moodle. To create a custom segment

1. Under the player window, click  to create a new segment. (If not already signed in, you will be prompted to sign in or create a user account.)
2. In the player window, move the video to the beginning of the segment you want to save and in the Custom Segments window, click  .
3. Move the player to the end of the segment you want to save, then click .
4. To set a thumbnail image, move the video to the desired frame, then click 
5. Enter a Title (required) and Description (optional) for the segment, then click .
6. The new segment will now be available to add to playlists.

To add a video to a Playlist, click the  button underneath the video window. (If not signed in to your account, you will be asked to do so or prompted to create an account, if you do not have one.)

1. Click "Playlist."
2. On the Playlist menu, select the part of the video to add. Select "Add Full Title" for the entire video or one of the list segments. If you have created any custom segments, they will be in the list. Hold Ctrl to select multiple segments.
3. Select the playlist you want to use from the drop down menu.
4. To create a new playlist, type the playlist name in the second box and click "New Playlist," then select that folder from the drop-down menu.
5. Click "Add To Playlist" then close the pop up window.
6. To view, edit and share your playlists, click on the profile button in the upper right of any page, then select "My Content."

Once you have created custom segments and playlists, you can share them with your students and colleagues. To embed or link to your custom content, follow these steps. (If not signed in to your account, you will be asked to do so or prompted to create an account, if you do not have one.)

1. Click on the profile button in the upper right of the page.
2. Click on "My Content"
