As Google struggles to catch up to Tiktok’s popularity, the company finally made it easier to turn your YouTube videos into Shorts, its bite-sized content.
Google is rolling out a new creator tool that lets content creators turn their longer YouTube videos into Shorts in just a few seconds.
To do so, they simply have to select a segment from any video they published on YouTube, then publish it as a YouTube Short.
Until now, the only way to quickly make a YouTube Short was to upload a vertical video under 60 seconds and let YouTube automatically turn it into a Short.
Now, content creators can take their most engaging content from existing videos and reupload it as a Short, straight from the YouTube mobile app.
“Shorts created from VODs will link back to the original long-form videos so that people watching your Short can see the original video too. Importantly, only you as the original creator will be able to import your long-form videos into Shorts as this tool is not available for other creators to use on your content,” says the company.
