EchoVideo

We would like the ability to add fade in/fade out transitions to video footage. We love the editing capabilities that EchoVideo provides our faculty/students and how easy they are to use. Adding the capability to include basic transition features (like fade in/fade out) would be a great benefit to us as it is something stakeholders are accustomed to seeing/using when they are splicing video footage or combining different videos together.

It would be handy to have an unselect all/select all toggle for AskEcho options. For example, if you just want chapter generation, you have to go and unselect 7 additional toggles. It would be best practice to provide an easy option to unselect/select all toggles instead.

As a user when media is added to a class in a course section I would expect that any instructor in that class would be able to utilize the AskEcho AI functionality for any media in any of the classes within that course section. I would also expect this to apply to folders and collections.

When choosing to publish a capture to an existing class, the class list doesn't have any date indicator letting you know when the course has taken place. This makes the task of selecting the correct existing class nearly impossible, especially for classes that may have been initially set-up using a CSV import, or where the instructor chooses to use the same name for each class.

When editing stuff such as the chapters in the media details page it would be nice if this data auto-saved.

We would like the ability to permanently delete selected media from the recycle bin, similar to the current 'restore' function, so that we can purge anything sensitive that should not be recorded.

I've been creating PPT videos to share in an LMS SCORM package. The videos sound great in the media player, but develop audio glitches once I upload them in Echo. These glitches are not present in the original rendering. I tried to just have one browser window open and shut down all my other programs while I uploaded the videos, thinking it might be a processing issue on my end. But the glitches are seemingly created when Echo processes them. Please look into this, as it's very frustrating.

Currently when you set up gradebook metrics for embedded content a column is created in the LMS gradebook. However, if you have already made an Assignment in the LMS (our institution uses Canvas) and added points there is already a column. So now you would have two columns. Working with Echo support previously we know that for the Canvas assignment settings, you must set the Assignment to "not graded" and ensure that you keep the due date, so it shows up on a student's "To Do" list (sidebar of Canvas). It would be nice if the functionality of the gradebook LMS syncing could be improved.

Please make it possible to use AskEcho and do chaptering in existing videos without needing permission to copy/download/share them, so that instructors can get assistance on the time-consuming task of editing these to precision.

When trying to measure student engagement it would be helpful to see what videos an individual student engaged with and for how long. That would provide an understanding of the student experience and, to some extent, measure their understanding of the video content. We already extract a lot of data using the API's so it needn't be a report but the ability to extract the data via this method.
