Any boardsie like myself who runs a YouTube channel, you have been warned.
More dumbing down by Google.

What a cheerful little blurb is put on the header of this page.


"This editor will be closed on 20 September 2017. Remember to finish any unpublished projects before then. "

Yeah, I run a few channels and use Premier Pro. Couldn't even tell you what editor does.

Can you expand on what it does?

I think it's a pretty good tool in fairness. Pity

A first version of a new video editor, starting with trimming functionality. Note that this is not a replacement for youtube.com/editor, but rather a revisioning of video enhancements and more features in Video Manager.

Not completely ending 2017 in dejection then!
