Edit Existing YouTube Videos
Let me walk you through a familiar situation, you spend all night trying to make your video perfect, uploaded it on your YouTube channel and shred it to your social media accounts. Then you noticed that you need to repair something. The normal approach back then is to delete the video, re-edit using offline tools and then re-upload it again. Clearly, this process takes too much time. Furthermore, it changes the ID of your video which means that the previous embed will no longer work.
- 1. The first thing you need to do to edit uploaded/published YouTube videos is to sign-in with your Google account.
- 2. After signing-in, you now have the option to view all your uploaded videos. You can access the ‘Edit Video’ feature at Video Manager.
- 3. You can now edit existing YouTube video using basic tools such as stabilizing the hand-held footage, changing the color, improving the contrast and rotating the video. You can also use the ‘one-touch correction’ that instantly corrects the quality of your video. There are also myriads of filters added by YouTube which was developed by Picnik.
- 4. After you are happy with your edited video, you can now click save.
- 5. The video will be processed like the time you first uploaded the video.
Note: In case you are not happy with the video that you edited, you can always revert back to your original video. Videos with more than 1,000 views will be saved as a new video after the editing. You may also add notes and annotation to your Videos. This annotation may appear alongside with the video depending on the time that you want it to appear.
