The editing tool for Look Back is said to allow the users to choose alternative photos and clips to put in the video, eliminating those unwanted posts that Facebook's algorithm chose for them.
When contacted, Facebook confirmed to Techcrunch that 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," replied Facebook.
Techcrunch also cites sources saying the Look Back edit tools were to be rolled-out with the Facebook 10th anniversary launch, however, the social networking giant could not integrate them in time. Facebook's Look Back support page also contains mention of an 'Edit' feature under the 'How can I edit my movie?' FAQ, however, the feature obviously hasn't been rolled out yet.
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."
