FAQs

How do you cut part of a YouTube video that’s not yours?

You can use YouTube’s in-build video editor to trim your selected part or use a third-party tool. Remember, cutting or editing parts of a YouTube video that is not yours without proper authorization or permission from the original creator may result in copyright infringement.

Can I split a YouTube video into two parts?

As a user, you cannot directly split a YouTube video into two separate parts within YouTube itself. YouTube’s built-in video editor only allows you to trim a video to create a shorter version, but it does not have the capability to split a video into two separate parts.
