(This tutorial applies to WildPresenter Pro 3+)
VIDEO AND AUDIO
To edit or modify video & audio files that were created in WildPresenter you can either double-click on the video or audio on the stage, or you can right-click on it and select Edit Object.
Next, the Video/Audio/Image Importer window will open.
You can re-encode the video or audio using any of the options available including selecting a new preset, editing, cropping, or changing any of the encoding settings – you can even select an entirely new video or audio file to encode. Once you have made your settings changes, just click “Encode and Replaceâ€.
For more help on using the video, audio, image importer view this tutorial.
IMAGES
To edit or modify image files that were created in WildPresenter you can either double-click on the image on the stage, or you can right-click on it and select Edit Object.
The image will open in the image importer where you can change any of the settings, such as quality or dimensions, and re-encode. Once you have made your settings changes, just click “Save and Replaceâ€.
QUIZZES
To edit or modify quizzes that were created in WildPresenter you can either double-click on the quiz on the stage, or you can right-click on it and select Edit Object.
The quiz will open in the quiz creator where you can change any element of the quiz, such as the layout, questions, answers, etc. Once you have made your changes, just click “Save and Replaceâ€.
For more information on how to use the Quiz Creator in WildPresenter, see this tutorial.
TEXT EFFECTS
To edit or modify text effects that were created in WildPresenter using the Text Animator utility you can either double-click on the text effect on the stage, or you can right-click on it and select Edit Object.
The Text Animator window will open.and you can then change any element of the text animation, such as the font, the color, the effect, etc. Once you have made your changes, just click “Save and Replaceâ€.
For more information on how to use the Text Animator in WildPresenter, see this tutorial.
SCREEN RECORDINGS AND NARRATIONS
While you cannot edit or modify an existing screen recording or recorded narration created with WildPresenter’s recording utility, you can automatically retrieve the capture settings you used to create the file, adjust those settings to your liking and then re-create the file.
To retrieve the WildPresenter capture settings you used, right-click on the recording and select Retrieve Capture Settings.
The Recording Utility window will open.and you can then change any of those settings including presets, window, audio and video quality, etc. Once you have made your changes, re-record your screen recording or narration. You will still need to delete the old recording from your project.
For more information on how to use the Recording Utility, see this tutorial.
PLAYERS AND PRELOADERS
You can add a player and/or a preloader to any SWF or FLV file whether it was imported into or created in WildPresenter (typically players and preloaders are applied to videos, audio files, and screen recordings).
To add a player or preloader right click the SWF or FLV and select Add Player/Preloader.
The Edit Player window will open.
Select a Player from the list (you can preview it by clicking the View skin button). To add a preloader check the Preload box. When finished click the Create Now button.
Once you have added a player and/or a preloader to a SWF or FLV file, you can change the settings you used by right-clicking on it, selecting “Add player/preloader†and then using the “Browse†button to find the original file (the file without a player and/or a preloader) in the Source Files folder of your Project folder. You need to go back to the original, because otherwise you will just add another player and/or preloader to the file which already has one. The “Edit Object†right-click option will also be available for files that were generated in WildPresenter, but if you use that option, you will re-encode the original file.

CONCLUSION
You can of course also easily edit any text, shapes, flowcharts or other objects you create in WildPresenter by selecting them on the stage and editing them as you desire (just as you created them in the first place).
We have now covered how to edit existing elements of your WildPresenter projects. You can do much more with WildPresenter. Other tutorials will cover these subjects. The WildPresenter help file also addresses these topics.
