YouTube announces post-production editing suite

15 Sep 2011

If your tabby cat looked like a shabby cat during that last take, have no fear – YouTube has announced an editing suite for budding cinematographers to tweak and improve their videos before inflicting them upon the general public.

In addition to handy rotation, stabilisation, brightness and contrast adjustments, users can also chuck in the standard sepia and vignette effects for an extra little pinch of madness. Check out some of the possiblities below, but be warned – it features dogs in people clothes.

 

Now you can upload your videos to YouTube and then edit them to suit yourself with tools provided. Until now you needed to edit the videos on your own computer (or another site) before sharing to YouTube so for some this may be a simpler option
However given the upload speed of most (Australian) broadband connections I doubt this will appeal to most of us. Video and still cameras take video at pretty high resolutions these days which means big files to upload so for most of us editing and downsizing the video BEFORE you upload I makes more sense.
