Problem: fixing a mistake in a published video without re-uploading. Conditions: YouTube Studio on a computer, Content > video > Editor; videos shorter than six hours. Method (documented): Trim & cut shows a blue box; drag its sides around the part to keep and save. For New cut, a red box marks the part to remove and anything outside it stays. Times can be typed; Preview, Undo, trash icon and Discard changes are available before saving. The video's URL, view count and comments stay the same. Restrictions: for unedited videos with over 100,000 views, saving changes may not be possible except blurring faces, and this limit does not apply to Partner Program channels; since June 2025, saved editor changes cannot be reverted with Revert to original. Failure modes: assuming a saved trim can be undone; trimming a high-view video from a non-partner channel.
