- YouTube Shorts is getting a revamped video editor with precise clip timing, music, and text tools.
- New features like beat-synced editing, gallery stickers, and AI-generated stickers aim to make Shorts more fun and personalized.
- YouTube did not share a specific release date, only saying the tools will roll out this spring.
As the future of TikTok in the US remains uncertain, other platforms continue to seize the opportunity to win over creators. YouTube is the latest to step up its short-form video game, announcing a fresh batch of creation tools for its Shorts platform. The new features are designed to make the Shorts editing experience more dynamic and intuitive, particularly for creators who are used to the creative flexibility offered by TikTok.
In a blog post published earlier today, Google detailed five new tools that will be rolling out sometime this spring. There’s no exact release timeline yet, and it’s still unclear whether the updates will arrive on both Android and iOS simultaneously.
