In July 2010, YouTube officially announced that it had launched a range of HD videos in the new YouTube 4K video format, which is a standard resolution for films that measures 4096x3072 pixels. This resolution is too large for watching on your Mac or iPad. So if you'd like to download and store the YouTube 4K videos on Mac or iPad, you need to convert YouTube 4K video to smaller HD video resolution first.

What is the YouTube 4K video format?
The YouTube 4K video format is a next generation standard for rendering very high quality HD video for digital cinema applications. Essentially, this YouTube 4K resolution is twice as powerful as the current 2K HD YouTube video format in digital cinemas today. The advantage of YouTube 4K HD video, aside from the even crisper detail, is that it can offer better fast-action and larger projection surface visibility.

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.

Edit YouTube videos with YouTube Video Editor
To get to the YouTube Video Editor, you can either head to TestTube (a directory of YouTube's Skunk Works projects) and click the "try it now" option, or visit the direct YouTube.com/editor link. When you sign in to the YouTube Video Editor, you'll see a video tab with the videos you just upload and an audio tab where you can select music tracks for your new masterpiece. To start the YouTube video editing, just click and drag your videos down to the editing panel (where the camera icon is).

To add clips to your video you can drag them from the "my videos" section, down to the time line, or you can hit the plus icon that's in each clip's top right hand corner. In case you're not sure what a clip contains, you can mouse over it and hit the play icon to watch the whole thing without leaving the page.

When you hover over the clips you've selected for editing, click on the scissor icon to launch your video in a pop-up window. From there, you can shorten or lengthen your clip by moving the sliders below the main video window.

Add music to YouTube videos with the YouTube Video Editor (optional)
If you want to use a music soundtrack for your YouTube videos instead of the recorded sound you picked up while filming, you can click on the audio tab at the top to reveal YouTube's AudioSwap library. AudioSwap contains "tens of thousands of songs" that you can freely use in your YouTube Video Editor. All you have to do is select a song and either drags it down to the soundtrack editor or just press the plus sign to the right of each title.

You should also note that some AudioSwap tracks are subject to licensing agreements, which means YouTube may include advertisements when certain tracks are used. You also can't edit the AudioSwap track, so the song will only play from the beginning until your video stops.

Once you have finished the YouTube video editing, you just give it a title, and hit publish, YouTube will takes care of the rest. Keep in mind that the new YouTube Video Editor is still a work in progress, so you might get hit with a few bugs as you try it out.
