YouTube Adds New Layout Options for Its Edit Into Short Tool

YouTube

YouTube updated its Edit Into Short tool, which allows creators to easily transform their long-form videos into Shorts. Creators gain access to new layouts, including Single or Square, and various Split Screen options.

Why It Matters: This update streamlines the workflow for creators looking to repurpose their existing standard YouTube videos into Shorts content.

While AI tools like Opus Clip have been popular for repurposing long-form videos into bite-sized content, social media platforms are now providing similar native tools. Notably, TikTok's sister app CapCut recently launched 'Long Video to Shorts,' a tool that seems to have been inspired by Opus Clip.
