How to Trim & Cut Your Videos with the Video Editor in YouTube Studio

The video editor in YouTube Studio desktop lets you trim & cut the beginning, middle, or end of your videos. You don't have to re-upload a video to trim it, and the video's URL, view count, and comments will stay the same. To use the video editor, go to YouTube Studio then Content. Choose the video you’d like to make changes to, then go to “Editor”.

Very helpful video. Short but to the point. I'm also glad it was very clearly narrated, which helps low vision creators like myself.

Features been ever presents for sometime, but it’s horribly difficult to use and it’s shocking that it has not been improved

These are really good video editing features you can do when you think of something to change to the uploaded video to your channel.

Awesome to see YouTube finally offering this capability! Will this also apply to YouTube Studio on the mobile app?

[AGNESTutosFormations]

😊 Thank you for this video. Would it be possible to add another function in YouTube Studio that would allow you to add a video at the beginning, middle or at the end? Thank you very much 👍

That "revert back to original video" setting is a nice safety net for peeps like me who often second guess my editing choices. Would you guys mind putting out a video on how to add different free music choices to YouTube videos (YT audio library and any others)? That is a hot topic amongst newbies.

I loved your remix short which helped immensely with using remix to hop on free music trends!

Now this is superb feature! Thank you YouTube!

Wow...If any creator can also add fresh clip to any specific uploaded video... Then that feature can prove out to b more worthy... That's what I'm looking out for...coz Yesterday I uploaded final part of one of my video series in a hurry due to unavoidable circumstances...& forgot to introduce cast & credit section in the ending clip...& That's y badly needed this feature....& Just can see this update... Anyways... personally I'm overwhelmed to see this & hoping to have more flexibility of features in future... Kudos to Team Youtube...🌷🌷

thật tuyệt tôi thích điều này từ lâu ❤

[bisayangtagalog]

Very clear explanation. I tried to edit my live video but failed. Thank you for sharing

[RonaldBrown]

I haven't tried the editor recently, but in the past it has performed very slowly for me. Even when I'm on a fast wifi signal and a robust computer. I take another look at it. Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice Video 👍 Thank you Youtube Creators 💖

[wendelbaltazar]

Meus parabéns, obrigado pela dica senhor YouTube 🚀🙏🏻

[Demonik]

This option is currently very useful, it will help me a lot in my future projects.

[PaulKretz]

Yeah, but I could not cut the part (with music claim; to restore monetization) on my few hours long live stream. The system told me *the video is too long* . So what exactly is the limit?

[cominggetu]

THIS was my biggest problem, and this vid is helpful, great job 👍 thank you 💜

[Deem_The]

Great work this is definitely a must use for editing

[TheFOXOfficialChannel]

And can we cropping our videos on the future ?
