YouTube Unveils New Video Creation Tools for Shorts

YouTube announced new video creation tools for its short-form feed. They include a video editor enabling content creators to adjust the timing of each clip to create a rough cut and add music and timed text.

YouTube stated the tool allows users to preview their Short videos and noted an improved video editor is a top request from creators. The social media app stated that the tools are the first of more improvements planned to streamline in-app editing for Shorts.

YouTube Shorts will also allow users to create AI stickers by using text prompts to describe what should be included.   Creators can add image stickers to their Shorts clips by importing them directly from their camera rolls.

Lastly, video creators will soon be able to select a song and have it automatically sync with clips by using the music’s rhythm instead of adding it manually. The features will launch over the coming months.
