With little fanfare, YouTube recently released an online video editing tool based on Adobe Premiere Express.
Users using Adobe Remixer drag videos and photos from bins on the upper right-hand corner of the screen into a queue below the playback window. Selections can be edited or enhanced with titles, graphics, transitions, borders and music, according to YouTube.
Google said last month at its Developer Day in Mountain View, Calif. that it was not delving too deep into providing editing tools. On a basic level, most users are looking for a "video version of crop and red eye," said Hunter Walk, a product manager at Google. If anything, Google would focus on that "crop and red eye" element first and "then figure out what else the community wants to see," he said.
"We are testing the YouTube Video Remixer powered by Adobe in TestTube, an area where our community can experiment with prototypes and early betas," a YouTube spokesman said in an email. "The Remixer feature allows users to edit and assemble new videos and publish them to YouTube. In the coming months we will evaluate the feature's performance and will gather feedback from our community."
