Most video editing programs—from iMovie to the YouTube Video Editor—have a
clip view or timeline, which lets you drag and drop shots to a virtual storyboard.
You can move clips, change their length, and delete clips with just a few clicks.
The goal should be to arrange your footage to tell a complete story in as little
time as possible —1 to 2 minutes is recommended.
To get started, go to www.youtube.com/editor and
log in to your YouTube account.
Step 1: Arrange & Trim Your Clips
TIP: Most online audiences have a limited attention span, so aim to keep
your video short and sweet.

YouTube Video Editor
The YouTube Video Editor is a free tool in your YouTube
account that allows you to edit various clips and produce
an entirely new video. In the Video Editor, you can:
• Combine multiple clips you’ve uploaded to create
a new, longer video.
• Trim the beginning and end of your clips.
• Add a soundtrack from the YouTube Video Editor’s
AudioSwap library.
• Create new videos without worrying about file
formats, and publish the new videos to YouTube
with one click (no new upload is required).
