Bangalore: In an effort to make it easier for YouTube users to make changes to their videos after uploading them, YouTube is rolling out a brand new online video editor. This isn't the stand alone video editor meant for splicing together clips from multiple videos that's been available in the services. Instead, it's a new one designed to give users a way to do quick fixes without having to re-upload the video. It's like a retouching tool for photos, but for non-commercial video. The idea for including an editor came out of eyeballing videos that had been uploaded to the service. The new tool lets users make both quick fixes and more substantial edits to their videos. You can make basic edits, shorten your video, swap out the soundtrack that can stabilize shaky hand-held footage, do basic color correction, rotate a video, and adjust a video's contrast. As an added bonus, one can apply Photoshop-style filters from Picnik to stylize videos. Now you can edit your uploaded videos right on YouTube and maintain the same video IDs.
