The YouTube platform incorporated a new tool that allows us to convert any video on our channel into a Short. Everything you need to know here!
One of the newest and most famous ways to create content is through short videos, which became known for TikTok but already almost all platforms have their version, including Youtube with the Shorts. And in a recent update of the platform it was announced that the videos that we upload to our channel, or those that we already have, will be able to become a Shorts from the same application.
How to convert a video from 20 minutes or more in a Shorts of maximum 60 seconds it is quite simple. In the videos that we have uploaded to our channel, we only have to select the three points to see the options and below the option To create a call will appear Edit in a Short. Once selected, we only have to choose up to 60 seconds of the video and we can directly edit this clip in the application of Youtube.
In editing, we can add text, more video, filters and much more. But once we finish editing the Shorts, we just upload it and all our subscribers will be able to see it. Once it’s published, the Shorts will have in its description a link to the full video where this clip was taken from and those who want to continue watching the content will be able to do so.
Thanks to this new way of doing Shortsthe creators of Youtube they can promote their videos within the same platform. However, this tool only works to arm Shorts with your own content. That is, we cannot use parts of videos from other creators, as the tool allows us Cut.
With the immense success of tiktok, all social networks had to respond in some way. However, one of the first platforms to incorporate short videos like TikTok, Instagramhad to change the feed full screen that had been introduced in a recent update. The social network was becoming more and more like TikTok and this did not like users very much. If we take into account that one of the most similar applications to TikTok it is Youtube, it is understandable that the platform is looking for ways to resemble one of its biggest rivals. But it seems that the changes of Youtube will be more flattering for content creators, unlike changes of Instagram.
