Google launches YouTube Video Editor to edit videos

While Quebec is still moved by the launch of IllicoWeb, the Quebecor version of Hulu, Google is taking a step forward in the field of online video editing with Youtube Video Editor. This free of charge online service allows to edit videos. We now got two visions of the Net, one more promising than the other.

In 2007, we had access to a fleeting version of Youtube remixer, which was based on Adobe Premier Express. Back then, this app was not necessarily up and running and was too innovative to be fully appreciated. Youtube now launches a simple, yet efficient editing tool. Small is beautiful! All you need to do is select videos from your Youtube account, make several changes, add up cool music, and there you have it!

Just this morning, while I was getting ready for my chronicle on Canal Argent, I took the opportunity to put one of François Gagnon’s videos to the test with Youtube Video Editor. The result was not tremendous, but shall I add that the whole process of editing and issuing the video took less than a minute.

But don’t worry, the Final Cut pros are far from going unemployed. Just like iMovie software that is now available on the new iPhone4, Youtube Video Editor’s main goal is to make it easy for budding producers to quickly share their great holiday moments or their encounter with Paris Hilton.

In the end, this new Youtube Video Editor will allow Google to add up a new piece in its cloud computing solution puzzle, thanks to Google Aps.


NB: When you edit a video with Youtube Video Editor, a statement is automatically generated, such as ‘‘I created this video at http://www.youtube.com/editor’’. The problem with the generated link is that it leads you to a user account named ‘‘editor! #bug’’
