YouTube is getting rid of its built-in video editor & photo slideshows

You may or may not know that YouTube has a built-in video editor in its app. We’re banking on you not knowing this information as the streaming service cites this as a reason why they’re getting rid of it. YouTube announced that the built-in video editor and their photo slideshow features are both going away by September 20^th. What will stay is the “Enhancements” feature that lets you do things like trim videos, add subtitles, cards, and filters, among other things.

Mobile video editing app Magisto gets Windows app

Magisto is bringing its mobile video editing app to Windows PC. It is designed to make it easier for you to create simple clips from videos and photos on your desktop. With this app, you just need to hover your mouse over a collection or saved folder and watch the app work its magic. But if you want to select individual shots and clips, you can do that as well. It will support standard video formats and the clips you create on the desktop will be seen on mobile devices, and vice versa. The Mac version is supposedly coming but there isn't a launch date yet.

Microsoft simplifies video editing on Windows Phone with Video Tuner

Want to tweak your recorded mobile videos but don’t have the know-how? Microsoft has just released its own Video Tuner app to help you with that. The app lets you apply filters and corrective adjustments (including speed tweaks), as well as add music (of the non-DRM-protected variety that is). The finished product can be shared to various social sites except for Vine. But you can’t directly share from the app at the moment. Video Tuner also supports MP4 files and it needs a Lumia device running Windows Phone 8.1. If you want to try it out for yourself, you can just download it here.
