YouTube Shorts - Kurt - 01-19-2021
Youtube Shorts are Youtube's new short video feature. There are a couple of ways to create YouTube Shorts, but a simple, easy way to create Short videos:
- That are vertical, so they are formatted to mobile devices. An aspect ratio of 9:16 is best.
- It's 60 seconds or less.
- Uses the hashtag #Shorts in the YouTube video title or description.
There are a lot of benefits to creating YouTube Shorts. Here's a really good intro:

IMO, PowerPoint is a great option for creating YouTube Shorts without using a camera. You just need to make a quick adjustment so PPT will create "vertical" videos.
How to Get Custom Slide Size in Microsoft PowerPoint
In PPT:
Design > Slide Size > Custom
YouTube likes Short videos to be 9:16...so enter either of these two options:
886px
1920px
-or-
590px
1280px
The numbers above are the same aspect ratio, the first just creates larger videos. You can mess around with these a bit and check your results, but these are good starting dimensions.

Interesting moves into this space as the revenue model changes signfificantly for both owner & service provider. It could be evolving purely because of the short attention spans that most have made into a habit (Not a great thing for long term human development & progress) HOWEVER for producers with sharp minds, fast video tools and a pioneer sprit, it could be huge for 2021 going forward, Especially as a "Zap" kind of Training to the brain to learn new ideas.

I agree 100%. All the major players are prepping for short content. This is a big opportunity for those that see the writing on the wall...
One idea is to create "flash card" type how to videos that help people learn something?
