Edit a recording using the Webex Recording Editor
To edit recordings that were produced with the Webex Meetings Recorder, you can use the Webex Recording Editor that is available for Windows. These recording files are preserved in what is known as the Webex Recording Format (WRF), which is a format that is exclusive to Webex.
Download the recording editor
NBR (Network-Based Recording) files cannot be edited; however, hosts have the ability to truncate the start and finish times of the recording as well as control which panels are displayed. It is possible to modify NBR files after exporting them to a different format such as WMV, MP4, or Flash and using a third-party editor such as Windows Movie Maker.
