Hey, James here. Since I'm always trying to keep the Forest Park DIY crew (that's you!) up to speed with the latest music industry developments, I have a quick news flash for you.
YouTube finally introduced a short for video format to rival TikTok and Instagram/FB Stories.
Their new format, called Shorts, comes equipped with a few cool features that'll make creating quick and engaging videos on your phone easy to do.
Here's the quick review:
- Only can be created on your phone
- Running time is 60 seconds or less
- You can splice multiple video clips using their built in editing software
- You can sync your video with YouTube approved music
- YouTube will only share announcements of new Shorts with your subscribers who typically watch Shorts.
Check out the full official video overview from YouTube below. Happy creating!
