# Edit video

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.&#x20;

Just like with images, you can adjust basic properties and trim content, then save the modified output as a `new version` 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)*.
