Edit your videos with Youtube
YouTube Video Enhancements lets webmaster add tweaks and effects to their videos in an easy way. Video Enhancements takes tools from the YouTube Video Editor, allowing webmaster to either enhance their eligible videos while maintaining the video’s ID, or save a new copy creating an entirely new video with their edits (through Save as). Saving changes on their video will allow webmaster to apply Quick Fixes and Effects while retaining their video’s unique URL, view count, comments, etc.
To access YouTube Video Enhancements, simply visit the Watch page of the video, webmaster want to edit, or:
- Log in to YouTube account
- Click username (located in the top right corner of any page) and select Video Manager
- On the right of the video, (which video webmaster wish to edit), click Edit button
- Webmaster will be taken to the edit info page for the video. Click Enhancements to start editing the video.
From this view, webmaster can easily shorten their video (Trim), reduce camera shake (Stabilize), turn their video into a black and white film (Black and White effect), and much more.
Note : In order to be eligible for saving changes on webmaster’s video through YouTube Video Enhancements, the video must :
- Not have received over 1,000 views.
- Not have a Content ID Match (Copyright infringements for Video or Music)
If webmaster’s video does not meet these conditions, they will not be able to save changes made to their video. Webmaster can still choose to Save As creating a new video with a new video URL that will contain the edits, but they will not be able to save changes to the original video.
Quick Fixes :
Under the Quick Fixes tab, webmaster can Trim and Rotate their video (represented by the buttons on the left of the edit screen), as well as adjust the Fill Light, Contrast, Color Intensity, etc. of their video.
To allow YouTube to make a smart change for webmaster’s video, Press the button on the far left titled, (I’m Feeling Lucky). This will apply YouTube's best guess for fixes that will enhance their video.
Webmaster can compare their edited video to the original by pressing play in the player box. Changes will not be committed until webmaster click Save at the top of the page, so webmaster have the ability to freely experiment and play. When webmaster click Save, their changes will go live on that video meaning YouTube Video Editing will not create a new video ID or URL for that video, and other users will not be able to see the unaltered video. To create a new video, click Save As.
Trimming :
To trim webmaster’s video to make it shorter, click the Trim button in the top left of the Video Editing page. A thumbnail timeline of their video will appear beneath the player.

Webmaster can preview their changes before committing the changes by pressing Play in the player above. Once webmaster are satisfied with their changes, They can click on Done for saving changes in video.
Webmaster can always return to their clip and undo Trimming changes they have made. This holds true even after they published their changes. Simply return to the Video Editing page and click Trim. Nudge the arrows back to their previous location to undo their Trimming change.
Stabilizing :
Webmaster can make their video more stable (mitigating the effects of camera shake) by clicking the Stabilize button on the right. Stabilization will crop the sides of their video.

The Address Verification of new Publisher by Google AdSense.
What is address verification of the publisher by Google AdSense?
To protect the security of publisher, Google requires webmaster to verify their address before Google can send them payment checks. To do so, Google will mail a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to their payment address. Publisher will then need to enter this PIN within their Google account.
When will PIN arrive to their address?
Google will print and send the PIN to the publisher’s address by standard mail several days after their account balance reaches the verification threshold (10 Dollars) for the first time. PINs typically will arrive within 2-4 weeks, but it may take longer depending on the publisher’s location.
How does the PIN mailer look like?
Google will mail the PIN on a white postcard measuring 4.5 x 6 inch (11.4 x 15.2 cm). It looks like below image.
When does Publisher need to enter their PIN?
The publisher will have 6 months from the date their first PIN is generated to enter it in their accounts. If they haven't entered it in their accounts after 4 months, Google will stop to display ads on the publisher’s websites.
What if the PIN doesn't arrive in time to the publisher’s location?
Google understand that the PIN can fail to reach the publisher’ address. That's why publishers can request 2 additional replacement PINs if they don't receive their first PIN within proper time.
Can the publisher send Google a copy of their official identity document or domestic bill?
Yes. If the publishers have requested their maximum of 3 PINs and they have not received any of them within 4 weeks of their last PIN request. In that case, publisher will see a notice on their account page with further instructions on how to send Google an official document (It can be Driving License, Passport, Electricity Bills or any Government Document where publisher address is clearly written with their Name) proving their address through a contact us form.

What ad styles are the most successful?
If you want the biggest revenue impact for the smallest effort, we recommend optimizing your ad styles. Choosing the right ad styles can mean the difference between ads your users will notice -- and click -- and ads they'll skip right over.
We've outlined a few strategies below that are designed to decrease ad blindness, the tendency for users to ignore anything that's separate from the main content of your site. By making these changes, you'll be making your ads more visible to users. The goal isn't to confuse users into thinking ads are content, but to get users to see and read the ads so they can click on those that interest them.
The color strategy you should use on your site varies depending on the ad placement and the color of the background where the ads are placed. Review the table below for a quick reference about which strategies we suggest will work well on your site.
| Ads within content | Ads adjacent to content | |
| Light background behind ads | Blend | Blend or complement |
| Dark background behind ads | Blend, complement, or contrast | Contrast or complement |
Let's briefly define the three techniques you can use to design ad styles that will be successful for your site:
- To blend, make the background and borders of your ads the same color as the background of your page where the ad is placed. If your site has a white background and you don't want to spend a lot of time choosing ad colors, we recommend using pre-designed Google default ad style.
- To complement, use colors that already exist on your site, but don't match the background and borders exactly where the ads are placed.
- To contrast, choose colors that stand out against the background of your site. Contrasting is recommended only for sites with dark background, so we suggest using an ad style with white background, white borders, and blue titles.
For most color techniques, we recommend using colors for your ad text and links that already exist on your site. For example, if the links on your site are all green and your text is black, use green links and black text in your ads as well. Since most users are accustomed to seeing blue links, you might also try using blue.
In general, use common sense when choosing your ad styles. If your site's main colors are pastels, don't design ads that are all primary colors. Users won't click on ads that are visually offensive.
Even if your ads are designed perfectly, the techniques above might not work for a couple reasons:
- Does your site have mainly repeat visitors?
If your visitors come back day after day, they'll likely become blinded to the position of the ads over time, regardless of the ad colors. Try customizing the way your ad looks or occasionally switching the location of your ads on the page. - Does your site have a lot of ads and busy content?
If your site is filled with ads or packed with loads of competing content, chances are that you'll need to use more visually arresting colors to make your ads catch a user's eye. If the techniques above aren't getting results for you, try using more prominent ad styles
Tip for making your ads visible : open your page and give it a quick glance, putting yourself in the mindset of a regular user. Do the ads draw your attention, without being garish? Would you be likely to notice and read them, or do your eyes glide right past them? Try to find a balance between ads that overwhelm your content and ads that your users won't even see.
