YouTube announced Green Screen for YouTube Shorts. The Google-owned platform is adding a new tool for its short-form video form: Green Screen. This tool allows creators to incorporate up to 60 seconds of any eligible video to create a new Shorts video. Shorts created using Green Screen will be attributed to the original creator's video with a link within the Shorts player.

Green Screen builds on the previously released Cut feature that lets creators select a 1-5 second segment for their Shorts content. Similarly, Green Screen empowers creators to remix existing video content to create new Shorts videos.

These types of features are quite popular on TikTok. They are often used by creators to reply to or react to trending videos. YouTube seems to be striving to create a similar experience for Shorts with the rollout of these features, making it easier for creators to start creating and sharing Shorts content.

As YouTube tests ads for Shorts, generating more content for ads to run along is key to building long-term advertising revenue.
