DU VideoManager Phase Out
After months of careful consideration and planning, the Office of Teaching and Learning in collaboration with Academic Technologies Consulting and the Division of Information Technology will begin to phase out the use of DU VideoManager at the University of Denver.
The initial phase of this project has required us to disable the ability upload content into DU VideoManager and at the end of August 2019, access to videos within DU VideoManager will be turned off. We encourage individuals to use the alternative software and services procured and provided by the University to produce and host video content.
Below are some new resources to help you with the transition:
Kaltura is our DU VideoManager replacement. Visit the Kaltura support articles located at: https://otl.du.edu/knowledgebase/kaltura/
Moving existing content from DU VideoManager to Kaltura: https://otl.du.edu/knowledgebase/kaltura-moving-content-from-du-videomanager-and-techsmitrelay-to-kaltura/
Zoom also offers video recording and sharing options. Learn more at https://otl.du.edu/knowledgebase/using-zoom-to-record-a-video-presentation/
Faculty and staff can also make use of the video content creation tools available as part of Adobe Creative Cloud – including Premiere Rush for simplified video creation. Learn how to access your Creative Cloud license from the following resource: https://www.du.edu/it/services/software/adobe-creative-cloud
The videos stored within DU VideoManager will be accessible until Fall Quarter 2019 allowing individuals time to transfer any content that they wish to preserve to other video delivery systems.
