The ability to build on short-form videos is a key part of the experience for many, but YouTube Shorts is now testing out a version of that which uses AI, with two abilities in the works.<\/p>\n

In its latest test with a \u201csmall group of creators,\u201d YouTube is giving users the ability to use AI to \u201creimagine\u201d videos. Specifically, this new feature will let YouTube users \u201ctransform a single frame\u201d from someone\u2019s Short and turn that \u201cinto an entirely new video\u201d using custom or suggested prompts. <\/p>\n

The other option, also powered by AI, would allow users to \u201cinsert items into a scene\u201d from a Short using prompts.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re starting to test new capabilities in the Shorts Remix menu to help creators bring their ideas to life. After tapping Remix on an eligible Short, a small group of creators (English only) will either see \u201cAdd an object\u201d or \u201cReimagine\u201d options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Add object:\u00a0Insert items into a scene (up to 8s) from the original Short using suggested or custom prompts.<\/p>\n

Reimagine:\u00a0Transform a single frame from the original Short into an entirely new video via suggested or custom prompts, with the option to upload up to two reference photos.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s further noted that every Short made with these AI tools will still link back to the original Short, and creators can opt-out of having their Shorts eligible for these recreations, but that will also prevent traditional remixes as well.<\/p>\n
