You already know that YouTube is a popular online video sharing website. You can upload and share your favorite and awesome videos with your friends and family in few seconds with the help of YouTube. Further, You can easily embed YouTube videos or playlist on your blog or website if you want to. Thereafter you will be notified for each response you get for your uploaded videos and you can track how many views getting for your videos too. However if you wanna edit an uploaded video for some reason, then you have to delete video from YouTube, edit it using a video editing software on your computer and re-upload it to YouTube. That's the traditional methodology. Isn't it?
Re-Uploading is Re-Starting
When you re-upload your new video with new changes to previous one, it will be uploaded as a new video with new URL linked to that specific video. It doesn't matter if the old video you had to remove haven't had much comments or likes, or if it's not already circulated much among friends. But if it had more attention and had considerable feedback on it, then you will need to care about it. Anyway when you delete your old video from YouTube, simply you will lose all the comments, views and likes you had on it. If it was a video related to your business, you will have to use your strength again for promotion too. That's too bad, isn't it? What if I can offer you a solution to edit your existing videos while it's on YouTube without having all comments, views and likes disappeared?
No, it's wrong. I don't offer such service. But it's true that you can edit uploaded videos while being on YouTube now. YouTube offers a way to edit videos for YouTube users to edit and make changes to uploaded videos. You can do following changes to your uploaded videos,
● Add a soundtrack to your videos from YouTube approved tracks
● Trim your uploaded videos
● Rotate videos to left or right
● Add annotations to videos
● Fix or tune lighting and colors of videos
● Remove shaky camera motions on video and make it more stabilize
● Apply various special color effects for videos
● Blur faces on videos
So no re-upload necessary. Also YouTube doesn't change the video ID of your edited video eventhough you edit it over and over again. So edited videos will remain with same video URL attached to it. Due to that reason, your video view count, likes, comments and video link doesn't get affected. Isn't it a really great feature of YouTube? If you upload videos on YouTube and sometimes need to edit them for whatever reason, you can save your time and efforts you made on that videos with YouTube video editor. Ready to take a look?
