Over the weekend, YouTube announced they are pushing several new features to the platform to help fellow content creator streamline their production process with smarter and better tools.
The first one is dedicated to the Shorts farmer. Ever since the platform debuted in 2020, YouTube basically shifted the major algorithm into blessing those who fully embrace the “attention span destroying” format by blessing them with more recommendations, then more views, then more ad revenue, then repeat.
But soon, the new Dream Screen is here to help everyone churn out Shorts even faster with prompt-based video and image background generation to quickly materialize ideas sitting inside brains waiting to be discovered.
It will be launched shortly later this year to a selected group of people with full enrollment expected to be completed next year.
Next up is the currently-in-beta YouTube Create app. Available in select markets, this is a completely free-to-use app that functions like a video editor made “optimally” for Shorts but technically any sort of video files.
Users will be able to access lots of powerful features like precision editing and trimming, automatic captioning, and voiceover capabilities in addition to tons of filters, effects, transitions, and royalty-free music with beat-matching technology – no PC/Mac needed.
Not much update has been revealed in terms of when will Create come out in full force so stay tuned.
Here are some other little points to take note of:
- YouTube Studio to get Generative AI-powered features next year
- Creator Music gets Assistive Search for better and contextual-based search to get the music you’ve always liked “I heard it somewhere before”
- AI-dubbing tool Aloud is coming to Youtube for automatic dubbing
