YouTube is updating the Shorts video editor to make it a better alternative to TikTok.
The updated video editor will allow users to make precise adjustments and edits to the timing of each clip, add music and timed text, and preview videos while editing.
Future updates will include features like automatically syncing clips to a song, creating stickers from photos, and simplifying the use of templates.
YouTube is aiming to compete with TikTok and Instagram by offering similar creative tools and becoming a more appealing alternative for video creation on mobile.
