YouTube has not been wary of the TikTok scare. The platform has invested a lot in Shorts and has now finally released a tool that has already been requested by the creators. facilitate the creation of short videos from content already available on their channel.
Last Thursday (28), YouTube has made it possible for creators to take a snippet of up to 60 seconds of ready-made video from their channel and turn it into a Short Video.. Ironically, this is something the platform already does automatically with certain videos, but doesn’t allow creators to do it manually.
With the change, in addition to taking advantage of clips that can fit in the Shorts format, creators will be able to add other clips to the same extension if they’re shorter than the maximum duration of 60 seconds.
The arrival of this tool so late may be an indication that Google initially wanted original content for Shorts, but now finds it more valuable to use short videos as highlights for stock videos. Or the company may want to help increase the volume of short videos posted daily in its fight to compete with TikTok.
