YouTube has issued an update to its iOS and Android app that will allow creators to create Shorts from existing videos in their libraries.
Short format media has been dominating lately, with bite-sized and easily digestible clips gaining a resurgence thanks to apps like TikTok. Because of this, YouTube introduced its take on short-form videos called Shorts, encouraging users to experiment with shorter media on its platform. From now on, YouTube will make it easier for creators to make Shorts, allowing them to take existing content in their library, edit it, and upload their new creations to YouTube.
Creators can head to the YouTube Studio app and choose from any long-form video in their library, select up to 60 seconds, and create Shorts.
