Shorts & Vertical Video
Edit into a Short
Also called: create a Short from a video, remix your own long-form
Open one of your own videos in the YouTube app, choose the option to create a Short from it, and a trimmer pulls a vertical clip out of the source. You can take up to 60 seconds. If you take less, you can top it up with camera footage to reach the same limit. Shorts posted the normal way run to three minutes, so this tool is tighter than the format allows. The Short it produces credits the video it came from, which turns it into a route back to the full video rather than a dead end.
