Considering how vertical content has become a lot more popular than it used to be, many companies are jumping the gun and bringing in new features to make the user experience even better. YouTube Shorts are already very addictive for almost everyone who walks that road, but a new feature that the company has announced will allow creators to convert their regular videos into vertical content, all thanks to the new recomposition tool that will be heading out.
YouTube is adding a bunch of features for creators who want to make Shorts with more convenience
YouTube has announced that the company is going to start the new recomposition tools, and the testing will span over a couple of weeks. Once you have picked up a horizontal video that you want to recompose, you will have the option to adjust the layout, zoom, and crop a specific segment of the video. You will even get access to a split-screen option that will help you save vital parts of the long-form video.
Now, it is worth noting that it is not something new, as there are various video editing tools that already let you do that. However, considering how YouTube is going to start offering only means that you are going to get a much more refined feature, and if you are just looking for one place for your recomposition needs, then this works just fine and without any issues.
Another new feature that is coming to YouTube, called the Collab feature, will be added to Remix. This is going to offer a side-by-side format where your Shorts will be next to another vertical or horizontal video. This feature is already rolling out to iOS and will be available on Android later down the road. This is how it looks in action:
In addition to that, YouTube is also working on new stickers that you can add to your videos. Something that Instagram is already offering. Creators will be able to use Q&A stickers or other sticker, as well. You will also be able to reply to comments with a Short if you want to.
Another feature that I think will engage a lot of creators and audiences is the ability to go live but with vertical videos, which will appear in the Shorts feed. Considering how vertical content is becoming more and more popular, I believe this is an excellent feature that YouTube is working on.
YouTube has also announced a number of features that are for creators, and these features are there to make your overall experience with the app even better. In the coming months, the streaming service will start rolling out the features in the coming months, so be sure that you are running the latest version of the app and you are all good to go.
