VIUTube editing tools

You can edit any video that you have uploaded to VIUTube by using VIUTube's built in editor

Edit a VIUTube video

  1. Navigate to the VIUTube and select Manage Media.
  2. Find and hover your mouse over the video you want to edit. Select Edit from the popup menu. 
  3. Once you have finished editing your video, click the Save button. 
  4. Give your newly edited video an alternative Title if you wish and then choose Replace Existing Video or Save as New Video to keep your changes. In most cases, we would recommend clicking Save as New Video, as this option will keep your original video in tact in case you need to go back and re-edit it.
