Creating and editing videos on YouTube Shorts is about to become more fun and easier than ever before. The platform has announced new advanced tools for creators that will not only make videos more professional but also provide a creative experience similar to Instagram Reels. These include an advanced video editor, image and AI stickers, templates, and smart features like beat syncing. YouTube states that all these tools will be rolled out to all users by mid-2024.
Advanced Video Editor Now Available
YouTube is making the Shorts editor smarter and more user-friendly. The new editor will provide creators with features such as zoom in-out, rearranging or deleting clips. Precise editing of each video clip's timing will be possible, along with the ability to add background music and timed text. This means creators will no longer need separate apps or tools to create Shorts.
Personalized Touch with Image Stickers and Templates
YouTube Shorts users will now have the opportunity to add their personal style. The new image stickers feature allows users to utilize custom stickers they've created. Additionally, a new templates feature is being added to the platform, enabling users to quickly create videos by adding photos from their gallery. Notably, if you use another creator's template, they will automatically receive credit.
AI Stickers and Music Beat Syncing Enhance Creativity
YouTube Shorts will also showcase the power of AI. Users can now create AI-based stickers using text commands, giving each video a unique touch. Simultaneously, a new automatic syncing feature with music beats is arriving, eliminating the time creators spend manually matching video to the beat. This feature could prove to be a game-changer, especially for those creating music-based content.
These new YouTube updates are poised to revolutionize the short-form video content landscape, potentially posing significant competition to platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
