-- How to Edit YouTube Videos AFTER Upload (Fix Mistakes & More!) --
Can you edit a YouTube video after posting? YES! Whether you left in a mistake, accidentally revealed sensitive information, or received a copyright claim, the built-in YouTube Studio Editor allows you to fix these issues without deleting your video.
Most importantly, using this tool lets you keep your existing views, comments, and likes intact!
In this YouTube Video Editor tutorial, we show you exactly how to use the "Trim & Cut" feature to remove segments from the middle of your video, how to use the "Blur" tool to hide faces or data, and how to swap out audio tracks to solve copyright issues. We’ll also cover what this tool is NOT for, so you don't waste time trying to use it as a full video editor.
