Edit published videos = NO

 You cannot add new photos, text, or major visual elements to a YouTube Short after it has been published and started accumulating views. YouTube's built-in video editor in YouTube Studio only allows for basic edits such as trimming, splitting, and blurring parts of your video, but it does not support adding new images, overlays, or text after the video is live15. These edits preserve your existing views and engagement, but they are limited in scope.

If you want to make significant changes-like adding new photos or text overlays-you will need to create a new, edited version of your Short using a video editor outside of YouTube, then upload it as a new video23. This means the new version will start from zero views and engagement, as you cannot transfer the existing views from the original video to the new upload34.

Some creators choose to keep the original video live and upload the improved version separately, especially if the original is already performing well4. Deleting the old Short is not necessary and, according to many creators, does not typically harm your channel’s performance unless you repeatedly upload identical content, which could be flagged as spam4.

In summary:

  • You can only trim or blur your existing Short using YouTube Studio’s editor; you cannot add new images or text15.

  • For major edits, you must create and upload a new Short, which will not inherit the original’s views23.

  • Keeping both the original and the improved version is a common practice and generally safe for your channel’s health4.

This video is Not on YouTube it was Uploaded directly from my Photos This is a link to an unlisted video on YouTube  https://youtube.com/shorts/r1kdS9dBcJw?si=baLnhsPzVmp53wwh This one has Captions which you have to add the Audio from Memos then Export that as a Project which now includes the Audio, then re use that video in a new project and now add the captions. I’ve discovered another problem where when I move the location of the Cation box it Only Moves that One box… this seems different from before but I don’t know how to fix it. I tried to avoid using YouTube by making just the audio recording but I don’t know how to get the audio recording embedded into a blog post so the way I figured it out was to attach it to a picture a photograph in VN editing and turn it into a video so I use that video right here above, but I can tell you that blogger is limited and how big a video I can put in a blog so it’s gonna be much more efficient. I think to upload it to YouTube as a UNLISTED ...

 The situation you describe involves different aspects of copyright law and performance rights. Here's why the outcomes differ: 1. Street performer singing a song: When a street performer sings a copyrighted song in public, they are generally not violating copyright law because public performances are typically allowed without a license[1]. However, this doesn't mean the performance is free from all copyright considerations. 2. Video of street performance on YouTube: If someone records the street performance and uploads it to YouTube, they might not face copyright issues because: - The recording itself is their own original work. - The performance was in a public space. - There may be an implied license from the performer, who was aware of being recorded[1]. 3. Using that video in your own video: If you use the YouTube video of the street performance in your own video, you could face copyright issues because: - You're creating a derivative work using someone else's reco...
