YouTube has announced new video fixing tools that promise to spruce up sub-par video.
You can already edit videos online with YouTube, but now the site is offering to automatically fix videos for you.
One-click to fix
The new features are one-click fixes, so there's not much in the way of user control. This perhaps won't suit budding auteurs with only-slightly-too-dark film noir shorts, but it will likely lift the lower echelons of YouTube uploaders to an almost-watchable level.
There are previews on hand to test out the finished look, and if you later decide the fix isn't working for you, there's an undo option to fall back on.
YouTube software engineer John Gregg, who posted news of the new tools, also pointed to a demonstration of the stabilisation fix using before and after vids of a particularly shaky "paaandaa!" (at a zoo, we presume).
