How To Make YouTube Shorts From Regular YouTube Videos - NEW UPDATE

There is a brand new option inside of YouTube here, where you could edit a portion of your video into a YouTube short. Basically the idea here is you take your long form content, like let's say a 10 minute video, and take out a portion of it that could be a short, for example, anything that's 15 seconds soundbite, 60 seconds soundbite. So instead of using an editing software to do that and changing basically the shape of the video, all this is now done on the mobile app. So as long as you have the updated version of the YouTube mobile app on Android or on iPhone, you could follow along with this video. So the way to make YouTube shorts from a regular YouTube video is you go to your videos library. This has to be on your own channel. You can't do this with other people's video. Find a video. So let's say I want to go ahead and choose this video here. And as long as you have your app updated, you'll see this option create right here underneath the video. And then there's this option right on top. Edit into a short. So this is a longer video, but if I press this option right here, what it lets me do is it lets me take just a 15 second portion, or if I tap right here, I could take a 60 second portion of the video, so let me show you exactly how to do this. First, what I want to do is choose the 60 second portion that I want to turn into a short. So what I could do right here on the bottom is I could choose where it starts and then I could also choose where it ends, so this would be my whole 60 seconds, if I want to change the starting point, I could just grab this. I'm bringing it. It has to be up to 60 seconds, but it can't right now be longer than 60 seconds. Then you could take this portion right here and move it around too. If you want a different part as your clip here, once you do that, you want to make sure you move the video. So it's actually vertical and you could see what you're talking about in the middle of the video. So make sure that kind of works because it's not going to work for every single type of video because you're taking a horizontal video and turning it into a vertical video. But in this case, it's going to work for the very beginning of this video. So I could maybe take that 15 seconds or that 20 seconds or so, and I'll make sure I put myself right in the middle here. There we go. So now this is good to go. I could press next right here. And then on this page, I could go ahead and add filters if I want to. In this case, I'm going to leave it without filters. I could go ahead and add text if I want to. So for example, I'll just type YouTube here, press done. You could go ahead and place your text anywhere you want. And then you have this timeline option that lets you decide if your text is going to be visible throughout the entire video, or maybe just the beginning of the video and press done. If you press next right here, it's going to bring you to this final page. So you could give it a title. This would be the caption underneath the YouTube short. You could change your visibility. So if you want to leave it unlisted or public, you could do that on this page and make sure you check your audience, if it's made for kids or not. And then press upload as short. And that will post it just like this other video I'll show you on my channel. It will show up just like this as a YouTube short on your channel. I hope you found this quick video useful. I'll see you next time.
