- Big news, video creators!
YouTube have just made a huge announcement
about the New Creator Studio.
The Classic Creator Studio,
what features you're gonna get,
what features you're gonna lose,
and when this all might happen.
(sigh) And I think we can all agree,
I don't suit baseball caps.
Let's do this!

School is in session!
Now, for over a year, YouTube has been running
two analytics and video management platforms side by side.
Those being the Classic YouTube Creator Studio
and the New Beta Creator Studio.
I'm sure you've all used both by now
so let us know in the voting card
up in the top right-and corner here
which is your preferred studio, I'd really like to know that
since we move towards the New Studio.
Whatever your thoughts on this,
eventually YouTube are going to get rid of the
Classic Creator Studio.
They'd be making it harder and harder for us to use,
first of all, by making the new studio default,
and then creating a convoluted escape hatch.
But that's going to change very radically very soon.
And this is why.
In an end of year update forum post
on the YouTube Studio, at the YouTube held website,
link of which I will leave in the video description,
YouTube included some very juicy nuggets of information,
including that in November 2019,
YouTube plan to remove the Creator Studio Classic link
from the left hand menu bar,
for a limited group of creators, about one percent.
What YouTube also said is that they won't remove access
to the Classic Creator Studio
for the rest of the creator community until early next year.
And at that time, this change will happen slowly
and they'll notify each creator two weeks in advance
of when the change is happening on their channel.
So that's your fair warning.
One percent of you watching this video
are going to find you're locked out of the Classic Studio.
But my guess is YouTube are picking channels
that haven't used the Classic Creator Studio
for a while anyway.
But for the rest of us, some time in the new year,
you're going to get two weeks notice
that you're losing the Classic Creator Studio.
And my guess is, and this is just a hunch,
I reckon YouTube want this completely done
by March the 31st, before Brexit of course.
Now there are plenty more gubbins to be read in this update,
with links to other pages as well,
but the most fascinating one by far
is this page, that lists what's new in the New Studio,
what's coming soon, what Classic Studio features
are hanging around for a little while longer,
and very interestingly, what features you are going to lose
from the Classic Studio, which aren't being ported over.
Now, of course, I will leave a link
in the video description to this list.
But if you refer the visual, musical version, stick around.
The following features are all exclusive
to the New Creator Studio
and will never appear in the Classic Studio:
impressions and click-through rates
at both the channel level and the video level,
which update in hourly real time,
during the first 24 hours of a video's life.
There are new metrics that now tell you how many subscribers
clicked on the notification bell for your channel,
which is obviously something you should be doing
on our channel, right now.
Go on, go on, I can wait until this animation finishes.
(bell rings)
There is a brand new upload workflow
that consists of multiple screens,
a new layout, and checklists.
For a full preview guide, check out the video link
in the top right-hand corner of the screen now.
And there is a new comment filter tool that shows you
comments you haven't responded to yet, contain questions,
and which comments come from your subscribers.
(electronic music)
In the new video editor, you can save and edit a video
as a new video or revert to your original video.
Copyright claims on your content
will now appear in your video manager list,
which you can click into, review, and dispute if you wish.
And many of the on-point metrics and pie charts are now
making their way into the New Studio analytics pages,
as well as new ones, such as this
impressions to click-through rate to watch time funnel.
Now, even thought the bulk of the
Classic Studio will disappear,
YouTube, by their own admission,
haven't finished many of the tools in the new studio.
That's why for a little while longer,
you'll see features such as the end screens
remain in their Classic mode,
with this Return to the New Studio button.
So along with end screens, you will find
info cards, playlists, live events,
the audio library, customized channels,
livestream now, translations and transcriptions,
status and features, and private video sharing?
(record scratches)
Uh, gotta be honest, folks, I've never heard of this tool.
Never seen this screen, use your imagination.
You'll have to use your imagination
for the following tools and screens as well,
as YouTube hasn't yet ported them
from Classic to New Studio.
Those include the ability to upload multiple videos at once,
easier options for sharing access for channel managers,
and importing notification cards on the dashboard,
such as the ones you're probably gonna get
when YouTube tell you that you're about to
lose the Classic Studio.
Now, I would ask for a moment of silence
in remembrance of all of these tools and features
that you will never see again,
but to be honest, I'm enjoying this music too much.
So say goodbye to the following:
the upload time on your video,
the HD icon next to high definition videos
on your video manager page in the YouTube Studio.
This doesn't change your video's resolution, of course.
You won't we able to filter by the following
in search, upload time, list of video IDs,
tags, video length, videos that don't contain certain text.
The notification bell in the top right-hand corner.
Apparently, this inbox focuses primarily
on notifications from channels you subscribe to,
although my notifications would suggest otherwise,
I'm not too sure about that one.
Dashboard customization is going,
so you can't move around panels,
which, to be honest, is a shame,
as I would love this feature
in the new dashboard which is far more useful.
Comments directly from the dashboard
are also saying a goodbye as well.
And say goodbye to video statistics privacy settings
and bulk changes to video syndication,
although you can still do this on an individual basis.
And oh my word, what on earth are we gonna do
without the Google Photos import feature.
Rumor has it, there's also a tool called
domain and app filtering that's going away,
but to be honest, well, I've looked absolutely everywhere
and I can't find it; still I guess it's not gonna be missed.
So with all of our information,
I've got a few questions for you.
Which tools do you like most in the New Studio?
Which tools are you going to miss the most
from the Classic Studio?
And generally speaking,
do you think you're ready to transition
from Classic Studio to the New Creator Studio?
I'm just about there, I think.
But the best news is Vid IQ is ready
for the New Creator Studio.
