How do I edit a YouTube short video?

Published in YouTube Short Editing 1 min read

You can edit your YouTube Short videos directly within the YouTube app. Here's how:

  • Open the YouTube app on your smartphone (Android or iOS).
  • Go to your Channel by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
  • Select "Shorts" from the menu options.
  • Tap on the three dots (more options) next to the Short you wish to edit.
  • Choose "Edit".

Within the editing tools, you can:

  • Trim the video: Adjust the start and end points of your Short.
  • Add text: Include captions, titles, or other text overlays.
  • Add music: Choose from a library of royalty-free songs.
  • Change the speed: Fast-forward or slow down your video.
  • Add filters: Enhance the look of your video.

For more advanced editing options, consider using a dedicated video editing app like InShot, CapCut, or Adobe Premiere Rush, which offer more features and flexibility.

Once you're happy with your edits, save the changes and your YouTube Short will be updated!
