Video editing used to be the exclusive reserve of professional editors using very technical video editing software. For those who were not tech-savvy in the use of the software, a professional editor had to be contracted to get the work done. The shortage of experienced professional editors did not stop video enthusiasts from creating and sharing their videos online.

In a bid to encourage the creation of videos for sharing on its platform, YouTube set up a video editor for the users of its platform. The YouTube Video Editor made the creation, editing and uploading of videos very easy even for those new to video editing.

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on editing videos with YouTube Editor, and information on applying CC license on your YouTube videos.

Areas to discuss in this post:

  • YouTube Video Editor
  • Steps on Editing YouTube Videos Using YouTube Video Editor
  • Applying a Creative Commons (CC) License on Your YouTube Video

Awesome, thanks! I just started making videos and posting them on YouTube. The editor is indeed userfriendly. Is there a possibility to use the YouTube editor to add images to my videos, insert them somewhere in the middle or towards the end?

Hello Christine, thanks for stopping by! Much welcome onboard! For these other features that you need for video editing, I strongly recommend Filmora. Filmora is one of the best integrated video editors for YouTube videos. YouTube video editor is meant for basic features only.

Wow, Monica! I can't wait to see you bombard your YT channels with lots of useful video content soon! It doesn't have to be a self-made video, not at all! You can upload Creative Commons (CC) videos and have these legally uploaded to your channels with a license and even monetize them in no distant time!
