In this episode, I’ll show you how to use the all new YouTube Video Editor to edit and
trim your uploaded youtube videos.
Sooooo Let’s Get Started
Hi everyone, Serge Siou here and welcome to macStudioA.
If you’re new here, this channel is all about providing helpful tutorials, tips and
tricks related to Apple products, videography and time-lapse photography.
So if these topics interest you, consider subscribing.
Ok…let’s jump into it.
Did you know that you can edit any of your uploaded youtube videos, whether it’s public,
unlisted or private using YouTube’s video editor available as an option in Studio Beta.
Therefore, After signing into YouTube, click TRY STUDIO BETA.
From here, click Videos and select the video you want to trim or edit.
Now click on the Editor icon and you’ll be presented with YouTube’s video editor.
Let get acquitted with the editor.
The Editor Toolbar allows you to Undo or redo any edits, discard changes and Save your edits.
Click the Options icon to view keyboard shortcuts.
As shown, there are many keyboard shortcuts available in the editor.
To resize the video window, drag the equal sign type icon up or down.
Zoom-In or out to resize the Editor timeline as shown.
The Editor timeline has four options available, Video, Audio, End Screen and Blur.
Let’s go through each one accordingly.
The Video timeline line allows you to Trim the beginning, end or any sections in between
the video, simply click TRIM to begin.
Ok, let’s trim the beginning by dragging the blue vertical line to the right and similarly,
to trim the end, drag the blue line towards the left.
Next, let’s trim a section in the middle.
Move the playhead the the point where you want to delete and click Split, now move the
blue vertical line towards the right to end of the clip to delete.
Zoom in for precise edits.
Click Preview to to view your edits and click the save button to begin processing the Trim
edits.
After the processing is done, let’s add some music to the clip by clicking on Audio
and choose the music you would like from YouTube’s royalty free music library.
Then click the save changes button and also the save button shown here to confirm.
Once again, wait for the processing to finish.
Now let’s add End Screen elements to the video. Simply click ADD AN END SCREEN and choose the style
of end screen to add the click apply.
Bruce is a bit camera shy, so let’s add the Blur effect to his face.
Click Blur and place the blur effect on the area to be blurred.
Then click the Done button.
As before, wait for the processing to finish before continuing on.
Once the processing is completed, view the edits and see how it all turn out.
Unfortunately, the blur effect applied did not work after several tries.
I guess as this is still in beta mode, some work still needs to be done.
Overall the entire processing process took a couple of hours to complete, hopefully when
YouTube Video Editor is officially released it would be a better experience.
For the moment, if you want to try out YouTube’s Video Editor, I would recommend that you upload
a demo clip of your own and play around with it in order to get a feel for it.
