[..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.

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?
24. April 2013 at 2:23 PM
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!
6. May 2013 at 3:27 AM
[..YouTube..] I can not edit my video from the youtube editor. I want to edit & turn my video from horizontal to vertical.
10. May 2013 at 8:20 AM
[..YouTube..] @ThaJewishPanda You can’t sadly.
My editor is the same way!
