I understand and this sounds great. But I may be forced to sell my Chromebook and to buy a Windows Machine now that YouTube wants to discontinue YouTube Editor on September 20th. As a video-blogger, I need to be able to edit some of my videos using basic editing tools like cut, trim, join clips, add titles, add watermark, zoom into video if possible, remove shakes in clips, add and edit audio tracks, slow down or accelerate clips, apply color filters or something else like that. While I couldn’t do all that in YouTube Editor, I was mainly using YouTube Editor for all my basic video editing needs on a Chromebook, it’d be easy, two clicks, save and a new edited clip is added to my YouTube. Now that it’d be gone, the only alternative I’ve yet found for web based video-editing is wevideo, wevideo seems better in some ways than YouTube Editor, but worse in others for example I cannot import clips from my YouTube channel, I have to re-upload clips to wevideo to edit them there, I cannot export edits to YouTube as Unlisted to edit titles, descriptions, tags and thumbnails before publishing it can only export to YouTube directly as Published which may send out bad clips to my subscribers, and it cannot support 4K at 60p, but it can do 4K at 25p and unlimited storage only if I pay $96/year for wevideo.

I’ve hoped that video editing Android apps like Kinemaster or PowerDirector would support 4K and work on my Samsung Chromebook Plus, but it just seems that none of them work in 4K. Because they haven’t yet optimized for the specific Mali GPU, or something. Google doesn’t seem to provide neither Android video editing apps support for better video support (as Lumafusion on iOS has amazing 4K 60p video-editing support) nor does it look like Google is providing support for web based video editing solutions like Wevideo so they can get proper YouTube import and export support and perhaps also help them get 4K 60p support.

All these issues as YouTube Editor is being discontinued (I guess because it’s based on Flash), it might force me as a video-blogger to get over to a Windows Machine. I really don’t want to but I may have to..
