Here’s How To Cut Out Middle Section Of A YouTube Video

  • Go to your video manager
  • Select the video that you wish to edit
  • Click edit
  • I want to edit out a logo that starts playing at 1.04
  • Here’s the logo that starts playing at 1.04….ends at about 1.13
  • So to trim out that section..I just click on “enhancements”
  • Click “trim”
  • Now you’ll be inside the YouTube video editor
  • Move the scrubber up to 1.04
  • Click “split”
  • Then I want to move the scrubber up to 1.13
  • Click split again
  • Then click the “X” to delete that middle section
  • Click “done” to confirm the changes
  • Let’s check if that section has been cut out
  • Go up to 1.04 and then see that the logo has disappeared
  • So after you’ve trimmed out the middle section you can revert to the original.
  • You can save it as a new video but you don’t want to save it as a new video because I want to maintain the views, the comments, the URL and I also want to maintain my rankings in the search engines.
  • So I just click “save”
  • It says “this might take a while..while edits are processed users will continue to see the current version of your video”
  • Click “save”
  • Here it says “edits in progress”
  • It says “sit tight your video edits are being processed.
  • Come back to this page in a little while”
  • So then come back to this page in a little while and see
    if that middle section has been removed.
  • Go up to the 1.04 mark..you can see that the logo section has been cut out
  • Now I can go into my info and settings
  • I can also create a new title..”leads tunnel review..
    how to generate leads directly from Facebook”
  • Click “save changes”
  • Now you can see I’ve got a new title to my existing video. The views have remained the same, the comments remain the same, the URL remains the same and I won’t have lost my rankings in the search engines.

That’s it!
