YouTube, the popular video sharing website, has launched a Web-based editing tool with Adobe branding.

The tool, known as ‘remixer’, allows users to create more professional-looking videos by splicing together video clips, photos, music, graphics and other media.

Similar tools are already offered by Photobucket and Yahoo Video. Photobucket launched an Adobe-branded editor in February, and Yahoo acquired Jumpcut in September 2006.

To use the tool, users store media in a digital bin, where it can be dragged and dropped into a timeline. A user can make cuts using playback controls.

The edited video can be posted directly to YouTube with the click of a button.
