  27. Rashid Gill Says:

    [..YouTube..] Hi JewishPanda: You asked how to trim a part from the middle of a clip. Do this:1: Upload two copies of the same clip. (might need to choose different names for the same file.)2: Trim the right side of one clip up to the point where you want to trim.3: Trim the left side of the OTHER clip (which is 2nd copy of same clip).4: Mix both clips together. The final clip will be one clip, but with the part trimmed out.

    [..YouTube..] Great instructional video Stacia…referred by David

  30. Judy Epstein Says:

    [..YouTube..] Really useful and easy to understand video, Stacia! Kathy Boyce recommended you.

  31. xTheMegaGameRx Says:

    [..YouTube..] is it normal for video’s to take like 3 hours for a 30 second vid normal??

  32. Kenan Aydın Says:

    [..YouTube..] Thank you.

  33. Michael Thomas Angelo Says:

    Can you apply one of those filter effects like the cartoon over just a portion of your video instead of the whole thing? I was trying to start the cartoon filter about halfway through my video but when I saw the finished product after it finished uploading several hours later, it had changed all the footage instead of the few seconds I wanted it to. Do you know if this is possible?

  34. Stacia Says:

    To do this, you’d have to upload two different sections of your video and then put them together using YouTube’s editor. It’s a bummer, but that is what it is!

  35. cutetiger8 Says:

    [..YouTube..] I can not edit my video from the youtube editor. I want to edit & turn my video from horizontal to vertical.

  36. Tamara johnson Says:

    [..YouTube..] @ThaJewishPanda You can’t sadly. :( My editor is the same way!
