The YouTube WeVideo editor enables users to quickly turn out polished productions through its simple, drag-and-drop design interface for music, transitions, titles and other video creation staples. WeVideo is completely cloud-based, which means there’s no software to download. All video creation takes place in the browser of a smartphone, tablet or computer. This allows users to transcend the limitations of traditional desktop computing, delivering anytime, anywhere video editing. Leveraging the strength of cloud computing, the WeVideo platform delivers video rendering and other resource-intensive tasks in record time with expansive and secure storage.
“WeVideo’s integration to YouTube opens up the exciting world of video editing to millions of video story-tellers,” said Jostein Svendsen, CEO of WeVideo. “This partnership gives YouTube users an intuitive cloud-based tool that is far more powerful than most desktop solutions. And with the ability to immediately post completed projects to their respective YouTube channels, video story telling has never been easier.”
