YouTube users can now edit and improve their clips using an online tool from Adobe.

The tool, called Remixer, is based on Adobe's Premiere product. It allows users to upload video, add clips together, add subtitles, captions and music, and include clip-art.

After basic editing the clip can then be published on YouTube. Various other sites, like Jumpcut, offer similar services on their sites, even if they don't have the reach of YouTube.

Late last week, YouTube also began offering a version of its site for use on mobile phones. The mobile site is here.

It helpfully warns of the danger of not having an unlimited data plan. The page says: "YouTube Mobile is a data intensive application. We highly recommend that you upgrade to an unlimited data plan with your mobile service provider to avoid additional charges." ®
