Many creators overwhelm themselves with the need to create content on multiple platforms.
This tutorial will help you efficiently use your YouTube videos to make short-form content.
If its a video you uploaded, you have the additional option toEdit into a Short.
This option is handy but quite limitedyou can only select a continuous span of video up to 60 seconds.
you might then also save the Short to your gear and upload it on TikTok.
you’ve got the option to alsoedit TikToks from scratch with Adobe Premiere Rush.
In your editing software, make a new sequence in your existing video project.
This matches the portrait orientation of TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Next, copy some or all of your original video into that new sequence where youll be making TikToks.
If you have one static shot angle, just do this for one clip to start.
Otherwise, adjust the clips one by one.
Then, adjust the framing horizontally to frame yourself as well as you’re free to.
Then, adjust horizontally to center.
Then, select all clips with the same framing, right-click, and selectPaste Attributes.
In the popup menu, selectMotionto copy the position and scale configs.
All clips should have the same scale and position prefs as the adjusted one.
First, use speech-to-text to make quick a transcript of your TikTok sequence.
Correct that transcript (including punctuation), then use it to make captions.
Now you have captions!
To do so, select all the captions in your newly generated caption track.
There are also configs such as drop-shadow for depth and stroke for an outline.
Whereas YouTube Shorts have almost a 9:16 aspect ratio with a slight top/bottom cutoff.
