YouTube enhances Shorts editing with new display feature

YouTube is testing a new editing feature for its Shorts videos. This update will help creators place captions and stickers without interfering with important on-screen elements, like buttons and icons. It will show users where their content might get blocked by these elements. The goal is to make editing easier for creators. YouTube wants to ensure that videos look good and are easy to watch. This new feature will highlight areas of the screen where display conflicts may occur, guiding users to the best placement for their additions. YouTube plans to roll out this feature to all users after the testing phase. In addition to the editing update, the platform is also developing a system to recognize creators in AI-generated videos. This aims to give creators control over how their images are used online. Some creators will receive an invitation to upload a short video selfie to help build this tool. YouTube emphasizes that these selfies will only be used for testing purposes, not for any other features. This initiative is in early stages, with more details expected soon. Furthermore, YouTube is improving its "Memberships" tab to provide more content information for channels. The platform has also revamped the copyright details page in YouTube Studio, making it easier for creators to monitor pending copyright claims and their impacts. These updates aim to help YouTube creators manage their content more effectively, with the Shorts editing tools being the most significant addition.
