Video streaming giant YouTube is making sure Shorts continues to dominate on the platform. The efforts do make sense as this format is known to be the app’s most successful in terms of revenue generation.
The platform shared how it’s adding another innovative and exciting feature that simplifies the Shorts creation process one step further. This will include an automatic clipping option that ensures the most engaging element in the long video is transformed into a short bite.
The company shared more on this matter in a support page where it added how it was busy experimenting with the offering. This is where creators easily snip engaging elements inside their longer video clips to design the best Shorts content.
Moreover, you can publish this instantly so it also reduces the unnecessary downtime needed to make a new 16:9 video. So all those creators that are a part of the feature’s beta right now will get to see that option inside their Create Video Highlight section for the video editor tool. This is found on the app’s Studio Desktop.
As per YouTube, the tool can give rise to Shorts instantly, depending on which elements drive the greatest form of engagement as well as view time from longer videos. It’s just great news for those creators short on time who wish to include more Reels in their offerings.
It’s also a wonderful way for creators to better engage as a whole through this platform. Remember as we mentioned before, Shorts is one format that drives the greatest views on the app and is also the platform’s fasting growing feature.
On average, Shorts get more than 70B views in a single day and so many creators were able to make the most of it by adding it into their arsenal. So now, instead of thinking of more creative ways to make your Shorts more engaging, you can let the app’s latest feature do all the hard work for you.
We must add that you still have to do some of the editing bits as those parts clipped by the tool won’t be the only thing you’ll add to make the Shorts video stand out. YouTube did mention in the past how it’s working to try and ensure more content becomes a part of users’ Shorts feed. This might be the first step it’s taking in 2025 to stay true to that goal.
