In an Official log post, YouTube Software Engineer John Gregg announced this
much awaited feature of “Video Editing” on Wednesday September 14, 2011.
Until now, when you uploaded to YouTube, you were able to host and share
only, but could not change or edit your videos. If you wanted to trim off the
end, swap out the soundtrack, or tried to add an effect, you had to edit your
video using a separate program offline and upload the edited videos to Youtube
again.
Now you can edit your uploaded videos right on Youtube and maintain the same
video IDs. This view count and comments will remain intact, and all existing
links to your video will continue to work. It is no more required to upload the
videos again and again after editing.
This new feature will be available to all Youtube users globally.
How Youtube Video Editing Work
1- Just click Edit video on the video’s page or on your My Videos
page when you are logged in:
2- You can stabilize your hand-held footage, rotate a video, and boost the
contrast and colors.
Try “I’m Feeling Lucky” for 1-click color correction:
3- Or if you’re looking for a more dramatic change, try one of the New
aesthetic effects developed by Youtube in association with Picnik
When you are done with editing, just click the Save utton to begin
processing of new effects on your video. And if you don’t like the new edition
in your edited version, Do not fear, you can revert to the original video in
just 1 click and save again. You can also save your edited video into a new
video and try out multiple versions of same video with different effcts.
Note: Popular videos with over 1,000 views and videos with
third-party content can only be saved as new videos once edited by using
Youtube Video Editing feature.
