Upcoming features for YouTube Shorts creators

Improved video editor

 

YouTube announced that the built-in video editor for Shorts is being improved. The company said that creators will be able to make exact changes and edits to the timing of each clip with options like zooming and snapping. There are also options for rearranging or deleting clips, adding music, and timed text.

 

YouTube also said that there are more improvements planned for streamlining in-app editing for Shorts.

 

Templates

 

This tool will allow users to pull pictures from their gallery into pre-set templates. YouTube also said that it plans to add effects to templates.

 

It should be noted that while using a template to make a video, the original creator of the template will be automatically credited.

 

Image stickers

 

This feature will help users to create personalised image stickers to show their style.

 

AI stickers

 

This tool will allow Shorts creators to give their Shorts a personal touch by creating AI stickers with a simple text prompt. YouTube said that it will add a unique touch to the video.

 

Edits synced to the beat

 

YouTube will soon add a feature that will automatically match the creator's video clips with the rhythm of their chosen music. This will reduce the effort needed during manual syncing.
