Starting today, Google’s YouTube users will be able to improve their existing uploads with a new quick-fix “Edit Video” button. Before, online editing would result in a new video with a new address; now, old uploads can be made new in place.

According to YouTube product manager Jason Toff, engineers saw a widespread need for easy enhancement when they realized the vast majority of uploads were unpolished clips straight from phones and point-and-shoot cameras. Once the clips were shared and commented upon, they thought people might not want to post-produce using video software or the existing YouTube Editor, which would result in a new upload and address.

The new on-page editor has a one-click “I’m feeling lucky” choice to quickly improve a clip with a mix of enhancement features, but there are more fine-tuned controls.

YouTube’s image-stabilization feature, which calms bouncy footage, can be applied, as well as trimming, lightening or colorizing with 14 stylized treatments. The results and original show up in side-by-side windows, and the effects can be applied to the existing show in place or saved as a new one. There’s also a rotate command for those who forget television is a horizontal world and hold cameras vertically.

The more complex YouTube Editor service will continue, which allows combining trimmed clips with transitions plus nuanced enhancements in degrees of intensity. The Edit Video button simplifies with one-click improvements.

The new button will go live at 4PM Eastern in parts of the US and spread to the rest of the world tonight. It will appear when an upload finishes, on the “Watch” page and in a user’s “My Videos” list. Videos with over a thousand video or copyright infringement issues can be fixed but only saved as new videos.
