How to create video montages in VideoMR

Montages are a great way to combine video clips from the same recording or multiple recordings.

To create a new montage from clips within your video library, first go to the Backroom of your InsightHub then open up the ‘Analysis Tools’ menu on the left-hand side of the screen and then select ‘VideoMR’.

You will see two tabs – one for the Video Library, and one for Montages. Click into the Montages tab, and select the button in the top right-hand corner of the page labelled ‘+ Create Montage’.

You will be prompted to set a name for your video montage. Once you have saved this, your video montage template will appear on screen. Click the title of your montage to open the montage screen, and then scroll down the page to click the ‘Add Clips’ button.

You can search for clips by title, or scroll through all the clips in your library. Simply click on each clip that you wish to include and it will be added to your montage.

When you close the ‘Add clips’ pop-up box, you can review the clips and change the order they will show in by dragging them to another position in the row. You can also delete clips from here.

Click the ‘Update Preview’ button in the centre of the page to watch a preview of your montage.

When you are happy with this, there is a button to save the montage in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

From the Montage tab, select the ‘actions’ button on the right-hand side of the page to ‘configure sharing’ and get a sharing link which can be copied and shared openly, e.g., given to stakeholders.

The sharing link can be disabled at any time via the toggle button, and the link will also be updated in real time with any edits you make to the montage.
