YouTube’s video editor and photo slideshow tools will be terminated on September 20, 2017. The probable reason for this is that nobody used them: web video editing is inferior to native applications, such as Premiere and Final Cut Pro. Google even notes that there are many free and paid third-party editing tools available for anyone in need of new editing software.

Enhancements will continue to be available and accessible through Video Manager. You can still improve your uploaded videos in Video Manager using Enhancements to make edits such as trim, blur and filter. If you’re currently using Video Editor or Photo slideshows, you have until September 20, 2017 to finish and publish your projects. After this date, your projects will no longer be accessible. Any videos published with the Video Editor or Photo slideshows before September 20, 2017, will not be affected.
