Did you know that you can add tweaks and special effects to the videos you've
already uploaded on YouTube? in this video I'm going to show you how to
improve the quality of your videos on YouTube without losing views, comments
and rankings. Hi Herman Drost here from drostdesigns.com If you want to grow your
audience on YouTube and generate traffic leads and sales on autopilot click the
subscribe button and click the bell notification icon so you'll be notified
whenever I have a new video. Even though YooTube removed their video editor in 2017
you can still make changes to your videos on YouTube using enhancements
there are four changes you can make using enhancements number one quick
fixes two filters 3 blurring effects four trim parts your video let's look how
each of these changes affect your video go to your video manager and select the
video that you wish to tweak I'm going to select this one click the drop-down
click enhancements at the top here you've got quick fixes filters and
blurring effects at the bottom you've got trim out parts of your video so if
you want to auto fix the lighting for your video click on auto fix its 1 click
fix for lighting and color if you want to stabilize your video just click
stabilize and it removes shaky camera motions if you want to fill more light in just
increase the light if you want to increase the saturation move the slider
to the right or I can move it to the left if I want to add some contrast move it to the left or
right to the left to the right if you want to add some color temperature move it to
the left or right it;s colder it's warmer if you want to do slow motion you can
slow it down or if you want to speed it up you can do time-lapse
if we click on filters we can actually try different filters more like black
and white kind of greenish warmer you can also blur objects just click
blurring effects we can blur faces or you can do custom blurring which you can
choose areas to blur and track in your video so click on custom blurring let me
just select the objects that we wish to blur so let's blur out this person and
this person so you can move the scrubber here after that you just click done as
you can see the people are now blurred out Now if you want to trim out parts of
your video just click trim and just move the handles at the end if you want to
trim out the end you're going to trim out the beginning just move the handle
to the right say if you want to remove the middle section just go to where you want to
remove the middle section so say I want to remove from the 15-second mark so I
just click split now we're gonna move forward a little bit more 18 seconds do
split again I just click delete to remove that section if you think you
made a mistake just click clear which undos all the trims if you like
what you did you just click done to confirm the changes you can test the
part that you've cut out by just playing the video so I'm just gonna play the
video and you can see it jumps to the next part if you're satisfied with the
changes just click done to confirm the changes if you want to save all the
tweaks and changes you made to your existing video on YouTube just click
Save in place you'll see a banner "editing in progress" across your video video
processing usually takes 24 hours or less
if I click revert to original and it says this action will restore your video
to its original state including your copyright claims that you've received
any edits that you've made since upload will be lost if you want to save it as a
new video click save as a new video it says delete your original video you want
to delete this video when the new version has finished processing note you
will not be able to recover up once it's deleted you can check the box delete
original video once edits are done here are some uses for tweaking or adding
special effects to your videos on YouTube
trim livestream videos perhaps you made some technical mistakes during the
livestream or you want to cut out a part of the live stream
that you don't want to appear in the replay just use the trim tool to cut out
parts of your video remove shakiness Perhaps you took some video clips with your
phone that are shaky you can remove some of the shakiness by using a quick fixes
tool in enhancements blurring effects perhaps you mistakenly included a face or
object in your video that you want blurred out just use the custom blurring
tool in enhancements to blur out the object or the face if you mistakenly
filmed your video with your phone sideways or upside down you can correct it using
the rotate tool if you want to rotate your video to the right you just click
rotate right to rotate your video to the left click rotate left then click
save video in place here are three important things to keep in mind number
one you can't make changes to a video that has over a 100,000 views
instead you can create a new video by just saving the existing video as a new
video the exception is you can still blur faces
and objects on videos that have over a 100,000 views number two free
editors if you want to edit a video beyond the features used in enhancements
then download the video first , edit it in video editing software then upload
it as a new video some free editing tools you can use is iMovie for the Mac
shot cut open shot and kinemaster on mobile number three you can make
multiple changes to a video you've already uploaded to YouTube using your
video manager check this box click the drop down and you can make changes to
info and settings enhancements audio end screens cards subtitles download their
mp4 promote it and delete it now you know how to add special effects to a
YouTube video without losing comments views or rankings is there anything else
