Not so long ago (July 11), the YouTube team did an amazing job on YouTube Shorts and delighted us, creators, with new tools. In the official release note, YouTube representatives shared 6 new features that we can’t help but talk about. Let’s take a look at them together!
Earlier, the YouTube team has already created a feature to convert long videos into Shorts. Now the social network offers creators mockups that will make high-quality Shorts in seconds (bonus: the new tool will track the main object of the video and emphasize it during editing).
We’ve been really looking forward to this feature. It’s really simple: add text to your video and choose one of the 4 voiceover options to suit your taste. Isn’t it great?
Now you can promote your videos to communities of interest using the “Add yours“ sticker. By the way, you can also find other creators through the same sticker and get inspired for new Shorts.
Surprising but true: Minecraft is turning 15 years old. So YouTube decided to please all the fans of the game and add 2 games inside Shorts. Make videos, play games, and find like-minded people. By the way, these games have their own top players, so be sure to compete with your friends!
Soon every user will be able to add automatic captions and even choose their style. Match colors and fonts to your mood and make your videos more interesting and unique.
Yes, you’ve read it right: you can now make remix to remix. In our opinion, the feature will make musicians and dancers very happy. The tool will allow you to create large-scale Challenges from the comfort of your home!
By the way, we decided to ask our COO Roman Kolodko his opinion on the usefulness of YouTube Short’s new tools:
“YouTube continues its Shorts tools expansion. Being the first platform to introduce the best monetization model for short form video creators, YouTube is doing its best to implement successful practices that other platforms already have, to simplify the creation of short videos and incentivise the transition to the platform.
The ability to create Shorts on the basis of the long form will help the platform find more creators who even never thought about doing this. This approach not only brings in a new audience, but also helps long form video creators simplify their test of the new genre because now it’s less time consuming.
The race is going on!“
