Different from other former Facebook settings in which users can trim out their unwanted parts of the video posted on Facebook. Right now, Facebook allows users to add video tags, generate auto-caption as well as change video thumbnails. You may find that video speed adjustment and picture-in-picture functions are accessible.

Then you see the main page of this panel in which you're able to review a set of statistics such as Notifications, Insights, and Content. Click "Content" > "Publisher" > "Videos". Then all of the videos you post before will appear one by one.

VideMake is an all-around video and audio creation software for Windows and Mac, with a load of common functions, including trimming, splitting, resizing, converting, recording, compressing, and speeding. Since editing content on Facebook Live is complicated, let alone some popular features are missing, most YouTubers who post videos regularly prefer to download a video editor and use it to enhance the quality of their videos.

Downloading video from Facebook Live isn't wise, as Facebook only allows users to download their postings on SD quality, which is so low that the viewing experience is unpleasant. Thus, you can use VideMake to record the video on Facebook. The recording features are naturally built-in VideMake which provides you with ready-made dimensions and resolutions.
