Setting up for editing

•          Book the Classwatch case for the period you want to edit it (you must edit if from here).

•          On the left of the screen are the icons for camera 1, camera 2, and all microphones (lapel, case, and desk mics).

•          Then, one by one, click and drag any other icons you choose and drop them into the 1^st camera view.
•          Hover over any of the video and right click, and select ‘view mode’ and choose how you wish to see the videos whilst editing.
•          Hover over the video, right click again, and select “activity search”.
•          Use the tab that pops up: click on “day”. Then select the day you were videoed on by double clicking at the start of that time bar.
•          Scroll back over to the video view, and press play.
