# Video Editor

The **Edit video** feature allows you to modify video files directly within the Asset Details window or via the "right click" menu in the Library.

Just like with images, you can adjust basic properties and trim content, then save the modified output as a `new version` (replacement of the existing video) or a `new file`.

In order to make surgical edits or quicker ones, you can modify the play speed from 0.25x to 2x, by selecting it in the bottom right corner as shown below *(note that this setting is valid for the player only and is not modifying the actual output video speed)*.
