Tool you need: YouTube Video Editor

YouTube Video Editor is a browser-based video editor released by YouTube itself. It enables users to make minor edits to videos they’ve uploaded onto YouTube, as well as merge several clips together into one.

However, it lacks many basic features of modern day consumer video editing software and often crashes while dealing with large video files.

Get access to the editor

Sign in to your YouTube (or Google) account. Click “Upload”>> “Edit” to the Video Editor tab.

Place videos on the timeline

Simply drag the videos that need merge onto the timeline or hit the plus icon in the top right hand corner of each clip.

Save the settings

Review the result. If satisfied, hit the “Publish” button to save the settings.
