New YouTube Embed Player Features & Editor Tools to Fix Videos

It also lets people see the description text about the video, offers a subscribe button, displays some channel information, and more. The other thing YouTube recently changes is that they now offer an, "Improve this video,"link under any of your videos that it thinks it can help stabilize, offer color correction, or anything else. I haven't yet used this feature, though, and am wondering if any of you who have used it think it's useful or not.
