Posted by CmdrTaco on from the append-chipmunk-to-everything dept.

Jamie noticed that YouTube has announced a built-in video editor that lets you actually edit video online. The editor lets you manipulate video you've uploaded to your own account.

    I imagine it'll be a while before it lets you remix multiple Youtube videos into something like what Kutiman did. Nevertheless, at the very least it's a very nice tech demo.

    Ok so now not only do I have to filter through voiceovers and subtitles to find the original version. I now have to cut through all the remixes and crap as well. Queue people taking popular videos and cutting in genitals in 5...4...3...

      With that countdown, you are clearly cuing and not queuing.

      Oh, you missed the whole article on 'penis detection' huh? Youtube will probably include labels like: 'WARNING: this movie contains 5% penis. Click here to view original without bonus scenes.'.
      But seriously, the great thing about an online editor that makes it so easy is this: they will keep the link to the old movie... no more 'this is a response to...' but 'this movie contains scenes from ...'.

    A video editor built into youtube. Excellent! Can we remove the fingerprint then they add to files for "copyright" enforcement? No? Then it's a rubbish editor.

    It's called a troll.

    Very quick Google search leads me to figure this: currently often posted in various places (YouTube is popular) by trolls who object to Obama. It actually predates the president, appearing at least as early as mid-2006, but Google thinks even back in 2001.

  8. Why such a focus on fancy crap? by shadowmage13 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    New features are wonderful, but i wish they'd just make the site really solid before they released fancy crap...

    See, if they had the option to specify copyright, users could be shown a vast library of other videos and songs they could use to edit.
