Facebook Look Back videos can now be edited by users

Facebook, after rolling-out the Look Back feature to mark the 10-year anniversary of the social network, has now released tools that will allow users to edit their Look Back videos in case they are dissatisfied with them.

The editing tool for Look Back allows users to choose alternative photos and clips to put in the video, eliminating those unwanted posts that Facebook's algorithm chose for them.

The Look Back video editing feature seems to have rolled out to most users, with the 'Edit' option clearly visible to us (see above), right next to the 'Share Your Movie' button.

News of the edit option being in the offing had been reported on Wednesday by Techcrunch, and Facebook had confirmed the feature will soon arrive for the users, failing to give any particular time-slot. "We will be launching an Edit feature soon that will allow people to change moments in their movies or update the ones they shared. I don't have exact timing at the moment, but this will enable people to remove a post from the movie that was pre-selected and change it to a different one."

The Look Back video initiative is very much like the Year in Review compilations Facebook has offered at the end of the year, but this time, it's in video form, and highlights the biggest events from the user's entire time on the social network.

The social networking giant says "this is a small gesture to thank the over one billion people who are on Facebook by providing a unique way to look back at some of their biggest moments."

You can access the experience by going to https://www.facebook.com/lookback while being logged into your Facebook account.
