You need to save your project in case you want to edit it again. It'll be saved as a project file.

This project file is NOT something you can upload or share as a video.

So once you save your project file, you need to export your project as a usable video file.

Both are easy to do. Here's how.

To save your video project, click "File" > "Save Project as."
Save your project file to where you wish on your computer.
Make sure it's some place you'll be able to find later.
To export your project as a usable video file, click "File" > "Export Project" > "Export Video."
Export video with the default settings.
Other good export options are 1080i 30fps or 720p 30fps.
Save the video to where you wish on your computer.
Make sure it's some place you'll be able to find later.

Use these instructions to upload your video to Bb Learn or Kaltura Drexel Streams.

Try again.
Sometimes Kaltura or Drexel Streams has flukes.
Also, close/re-open your web browser.
Or try a different web browser.
If the video is said to be incompatible or too large,
Handbrake has been the free go-to for a long time to quickly solve those issues.
