Video blur tool improvements
If you need to blur out parts of your video, the blur tool is a great way to do this without taking down your video or needing to re-upload it. We’ve made some great improvements to the video blur editor in YouTube Studio, including a new look and modern design so it’s simpler to find and easier to use, additional size, shape and position controls for more flexibility and precision for your blurs and quick-access from the video details page and full screen editor so you don’t have to open a new tab.

New Captions Editor on YouTube Studio
To make it easier and faster to edit captions, we are introducing a new captions editor on YouTube Studio. This change brings:
- A new pop-up window with a fresh design, so you don’t need to open a new browser tab.
- Faster captions with parallel auto-sync processing, meaning you no longer have to wait before we assign timing to the captions you have provided or entered.
- Caption timings alongside the audio stream, so you can better see where to place your captions. We have also added a slider to allow you to zoom into the timeline for a deeper look and keyboard shortcuts, so you can do your most common tasks faster.
