Short form of videos are now blooming very fast in the social media like TikTok, Vimeo, Reels, ShareChat, Moj etc.,  Now YouTube also introduced its Short video format called YouTube ShortsAlready YouTube has a wide range of audience.  So all these audience now ready to watch the shorts in YouTube.

For a day, billion views of Shorts are watched in YouTube.  So many traffic will be derived every day in the YouTube shorts.
  • The time duration for shorts is maximum of 60 seconds and you need to include #shorts in your description or title.
  • The video aspect ratio of youtube shorts is 9:16.  It is the inverse ratio of normal video of youtube 16:9.
  • So you need a 9:16 video editor to edit your shorts.  Generally you can change the aspect ratio in any video editor.  But I have chosen some video editors which are more useful to create a youtube shorts and stories compared to other video editors.

YouTube Shorts Video Editor software

The list of YouTube Shorts Video Editor are
Makestories.io is actually created for creating Google Web stories.  But the magic is we can also create shorts in this website.

makestories.io is used for youtube shorts editing

It is an online platform, so we don't need to download any app or software in your pc.  By signup in this website and you can start creating the shorts with animation and text, images etc.,

It is so simple only a click and drag process to create your shorts.  You can also use their free templates and media and also able to upload your own media.
  • Create your shorts by making many slides.  After finishing your editing, press Publish and Export for Social Media.  Wait for some time and the export will finish and download your zip file.
  • Extract the zip file, it contains static images and motion video of each slide.  Now you need to add those videos one by one in any video editor (You can also use the below video editor to do this process) and make export in the format of 9:16.
  • Now your Youtube short is ready to upload to Youtube without any third party watermarks.
The disadvantage of Makestories.io is If you need your own media for editing then you need to upload that in this website to edit your media.  It is not taking the video from your PC like the video editors do, you need to upload the media fully in their server.
