YouTube Shorts is about to get even more exciting! YouTube has introduced six new tools for YouTube Shorts to make creating and sharing content easier and more fun. These tools aim to give users more creative freedom.
Whether you’re a content creator looking to spice up your videos or just someone who loves scrolling through Shorts, these updates are sure to bring fresh and engaging ways to connect and express yourself. Let’s dive into what each of these new tools has to offer!
Auto layout
Last year, YouTube launched tools to help you turn your regular videos into Shorts. Now, the company is making them even better.
Soon, you’ll be able to use Auto layout on Android, which automatically tracks the main subject in your video as you’re turning it into a Short. This means when you’re remixing long form videos into Shorts, the Auto layout tool will automatically and dynamically pan, zoom, and crop to make sure your Shorts look great.

Add yours sticker
Creators can now include an “Add yours” sticker to their Shorts to inspire their audience with their own related content, sparking a chain reaction of adorable content! This feature is rolling out gradually over the next few weeks.

You will soon be able to add auto-generated captions directly on your content to help your Shorts be more fun, engaging, accessible and helpful for people watching on mute. You’ll be able to edit, customise, and style your captions with different fonts and colours.
