- YouTube is rolling out a new tool that lets creators cut out popular parts of their videos and publish them separately as 16:9 clips.

YouTube has long offered channel admins insights about their published videos, letting them effortlessly view relevant metrics. The streaming service displays audience retention graphs and key moments, helping them study their audience and see what clicks with them. To make it easier for creators to grab their visitors’ attention, YouTube is rolling out a feature that lets them chop popular videos and publish them separately.
YouTube has announced a new feature that lets creators find popular segments in their published videos and upload shorter versions independently. The tool is designed for long-form English videos and produces 16:9 clips that YouTubers can highlight individually. Based on the company’s description, it appears that the outputted videos will maintain their landscape orientation — rather than switching to 9:16 Shorts.
