YouTube Video Editor Tutorial

YouTube Video Editor: http://www.youtube.com/editor?popart=681928

In this video I go over the new YouTube feature that allows you to edit your videos straight from the website. Using the new editor you can combine videos, trim the length, add custom music, preview the entire video and render it into a new video all from the site. While it’s obviously not the most full featured editing suite around for simple tasks such as trimming a video a bit or making home movies the new YouTube Video Editor is a fantastic tool. Just upload your video(s) to the site, go to the YouTube Video Editor and get to editing your own videos!
