How to rotate a video in the new Youtube Studio?

Question

Is it possible to rotate a video in the new Youtube Studio even after Google removed the "Classic Studio" button?

Answer 1

There is however a workaround to rotate a video in the new Youtube Studio (even after the Classic Editor button was removed by Google). It is a bit tricky and I don't know how long it will work.

Here is the way to do it:

• Open new Youtube Studio and select the video to edit.
• Note down/copy the video-id of your video to rotate.
• Create a url with your video-id as follows:
  youtube.com/enhance?v=video-id
• Open that url in a new tab.
• The old enhance edit window appears (which was part of the classic studio)
• However, you will only see a Trim button.
• Right click the trim button and select inspect
• Select the line below the highlighted one in the inspect window. It should be something like:

<div class="enhance-effect" 
id="enhance-rotate-buttons" hidden="true">

• In that line: highlight hidden="true" and delete it and hit return.
• Now you will see the rotate left/right buttons again.
• Rotate your video and click Save or Save as new video.

This may take some time. Done :-)
