It would be really hard to digest if you don’t know anything about YouTube Shorts. But if you have successfully stayed away from tech all these years, let us tell you that YouTube launched a feature on its platform where creators can create short videos. The giants do this to compete with the other social media platforms in the market. These shorts are not only enjoyable but highly liked by people from around the globe. But if you are new to this, there is so much catching up to do. So, to bridge that gap here is an ultimate guide that can help make YouTube Shorts. 

What are the basic requirements made by YouTube?

Before going any further, you need to understand that YouTube Shorts have some requirements, or you can say, basic guidelines that have to be followed. Here are some of those to get you started:

• From 1 second to 60 seconds, YouTube shorts can be between this timeline. 
• If you create 60-sec shorts, you do not necessarily have to make it a single video. You can add up a few videos and create one, or a continuous one is still an option.
• The video or videos should be shot in a vertical orientation.
• The creators are allowed and free to use any audio from YouTube’s library. But that can be done only for a 15-sec video.
• You can easily use the YouTube Video Editor to create a masterpiece.

How to make shorts on YouTube?

Now comes the actual fun part! To know how exactly, we can create YouTube shorts. So, to guide you through each step, we have this ultimate guide for you. Just follow the steps, and you will easily create amazing shots.

• The first thing you will have to do is download YouTube on your mobile and login.
• Click on the create button that comes on your screen. There will be a plus symbol in the middle of the screen. You will have to click that button.
• There will be a pop-up that will appear on your screen. There will be a camera icon on the screen right beside it.
• As soon as you click on that option, your device will ask for permission to allow the app to use your microphone and camera.
• Approve that because that has to be done. There is no other option for you. And as soon as you give both the approvals, you will land on the recording screen. 
• There is a default setting done by YouTube in which the shorts can be created for 15 seconds only. 
• If you want to keep it likewise, go on and record but if you want to change or see the time options, then click on the number 15. You will see the option from there. 
• You can click on the Speed button to open the speedometer, which will slow down or speed up the recording. 
• Like any other recording app, you also get the option of a timer on the screen. With that, you can get a chance to fit the device somewhere of your choice and then record with both hands-frees. 

Once you have done all this, you have two options; first, to hit the upload button on the top-right corner and the second one to save it for further uploading. If you want to make a few edits or changes, this function will help. You can use any available YouTube Video Editor to make the video as perfect as you want. With this, you can also eliminate all the niggles in the videos.

Here are a few quick things to keep in mind while and before you start recording.

Suppose you are a little bit serious about how your videos will come to be. Or, if you are planning to become a regular shorts uploader and then to become an influencer, these quick tips can help you a lot.

• For better videos, you should bring a stabiliser or a holder. This way, your videos won’t become shaky, and the quality will become better.
• Make sure that you have a good camera to capture the video, and you don’t need to have to use your phone only. Record from any device and transfer it to your laptop or mobile, edit it and then upload the video.
• Ensure that the room or area where you are planning to record the video is properly lit and there is no shadow region. It will improve the quality of your videos.
• Use a good editor to create a video because this will greatly help you from editing the video to putting any song or audio in it. Everything should be perfect according to you.
• To know about the editing that can be done using the editors, you can take a few online classes by watching videos. It is your choice to go in-depth about it or keep things light.
