YouTube Introduces Simple, Cloud-Based Video Editor

YouTube adds video editor

Google recently added a cloud-based video editor on YouTube. It's not super-advanced, but the YouTube editor does allow users to trim videos they've posted, and to stitch together multiple clips from their collection into a single film. When holding the mouse over a thumbnail, a scissors icon appears that lets you cut parts of it you don't want. You can also add music files from the site's audio library. Then, just click and drag the thumbnail to a location on the filmstrip running across the bottom of the screen. When you're done editing, you can preview a lo-res video of your work, and save it to your YouTube collection. Since all this is done "in-cloud," saving is a fairly easy process, too -- although it can take a minute or two for the site to process the video. It's all a pretty bare bones affair, and transitions and captions are currently out of the question. For your cats-on-chairs megamix video, though, it should be more than enough. [From: CNET News]
