YouTube has introduced new creative tools for Shorts, making it easier to create short-form videos.
The platform has added an auto layout feature for Android users, which helps turn longer videos into Shorts by focusing on the central part of the video.
YouTube is also adding a text-to-speech option that reads out text on your videos like TikTok does.

Another new feature is auto-generated captions that you can edit and style with different fonts and colors.
Additionally, you can now remix already remixed Shorts clips and use a new “Add Yours” sticker to encourage responses.
Lastly, YouTube has added two new Minecraft-themed effects for Shorts, including a mini-game you can play with the Shorts player.
