A new trim video feature introduced by YouTube has just made video uploading that much easier for Android smartphone users. By editing a lengthy video and trimming out excess footage, users can now simply upload the essential portions of their footage to YouTube.
This most recent feature has been provided to Android users paired up with inline video preview, so that users can have a better understanding of the video they intend on sharing. YouTube has made the announcement on Friday, noting that the two features could become quite necessary especially for users wanting to keep up with the times. Many Android users would wish to quickly upload their precious footage to YouTube, however, lengthy videos often take up much too long so they ultimately back out.
But the website’s team has found a way to solve that issue. When filming important moments, such as baseball matches, little funny cats, a baby’s first steps or the possible next YouTube sensation, always remember that users don’t want to see the long moments of excess footage before the precise moment when the action is taking place. So this snipping tool is exactly what Android users need: they first trim those portion of the video they wish to share and then review the material in order to make sure that they share exactly what they intended to.
This new feature allows the smartphone user to select two key points of the video: the beginning and the ending, much as any other trimming tool currently available. However, the app also allows its users to view their video frame by frame, so that they can precisely capture the starting and ending point. When selecting the specific frames, all users have to do is to touch their screen and hold down the frame they wish to select.
One pre-requisite, however, is that the video which is about to be uploaded be shot in portrait mode.
The application can be downloaded from Google’s Play Store.
