YouTube has now made editing your videos easier. YouTube has just introduced their new built-in online video editor. This can be found in YouTube’s “idea incubator” called TestTube.

YouTube’s editor allows you to do basic video editing like combining uploaded clips, trimming, editing and adding audio to your uploaded videos. You can do all of this without having to purchase or load software onto your computer.

This gives you the ability to intuitively arrange clips on a timeline, from inside your browser. To start editing , just drag the thumbnails of an uploaded video down to the filmstrip at the bottom. Your cursor will turn into scissors and you can begin trimming your video.

This isn’t the first time YouTube has introduced online video editing. In 2007, YouTube released their Remixer Tool. This was slow and buggy and was discontinued. The new system is a lot more simplified and early reviews say that it seems to work quite well.

YouTube’s new video editor is powered mostly by JavaScript. The interface is simple and quite easy to use. You can add music to your video from the AudioSwap library. YouTube however does reserve the right to display ads if you use their audio files.

The idea behind the video editor is to give the basic features of video editing they need in a cloud based application. This won’t replace the need for full featured desktop video editors.
