- Since the Shorts Camera is now available
for everybody in the U.S.,
I'm going to show you how to use the Shorts Camera
and we're starting right now.
The very first thing that you wanna do
is you wanna go down to the plus icon
at the very bottom of the screen, you wanna click on that.
When you click on that, you're going to see
the option pop up that says Create a Short, click on that.
Once the Shorts Camera opens up,
you're going to see an interface that looks like this.
You're going to see some buttons right up here at the top,
you're gonna see some things down here
at the bottom as well.
The very first thing that I wanna bring to your attention
is down here at the bottom.
So, if you look where it has the 15 right here on the screen
if you tap that, you can actually change
the length of your Short to 60 seconds
instead of 15 seconds, if you want to.
But of course, up here in the very top right,
you're going to see the option to flip the display
which in this case, it's just going to my monitor,
but that just like any other app
and just like the native camera on your phone
is where you flip the display.
Speed is the recording speed of what it is
that you're doing.
So if I want to record this at double the speed,
then I can do it here,
three times the speed, I can do it here.
One thing that I have noticed with the Shorts Camera
is that if you record in a very fast speed,
like three times for example,
that it does not include the audio
it just includes the video content itself, not the audio.
So I just wanna give you that heads up.
That might change in the future,
but for now, that's how it is.
Now, the next thing you're going to see on the screen
is the timer.
Now, the thing with the timer is really cool
is if you use Tik Tok, you might be familiar with this
but the idea is you can do the countdown
which you'll see here on the screen,
three seconds, 10 seconds or 20 seconds
and with that, that just gives you enough time
to prepare for whatever it is
that you're gonna be doing in the Short.
So in this example, for the sake of this tutorial,
I'm gonna choose the three seconds
but one thing that I do wanna bring your attention to
is this slider down here on the bottom.
You'll see that you can drag this to tell the Shorts Camera
when to stop recording as well.
So if you know that you only need to have 20 seconds
of this recording, that's perfectly fine.
If you need it to be five, that's fine as well,
but here's what's going to happen
when you actually select that.
We're actually gonna take this one down really low
just so you can see it for the sake of this tutorial.
So it counted down on the screen, right now it's recording
and then it's gonna stop right here in a second, boom!
So now it stopped at that three second mark.
So if I wanna do it again,
then of course I would go to the timer
and then I could do another three seconds here
if I wanted to as well
and I'll just speed this part up for you.
And then it's recording here again as well
for that duration of time that I wanted it to record for.
Now, you're gonna see another option right here.
This is filters and this works
just like it does in every other app.
Once you select that, then you can click
on the different filters at the bottom
and you can see here how it's changing,
what I look like in terms of the color, the contrast,
and all of those things that matter
when you are trying to find a nice stylized look
for your video.
You can just click through those
and figure out the one that you like the best
or the one that best fits the scene
that you're gonna be recording for.
Once you have the filter that you want
from there you just wanna click Done.
Now, another thing you're gonna see here
at the very top of the screen is the option to Add music.
Now, when it comes to adding music,
when I tap on this at the time of this recording,
I can't currently add music to this.
I do need to make a quick correction here.
So, when I was getting ready to upload this video
I was like, hey, you know what,
let me check this one more time, just to make sure
that this Add music thing doesn't really work
because every time I've uploaded the Shorts,
I do it directly from the gallery.
So I don't make them in the apps.
So because of that, I did notice that
if you click on the Add music option
at the top of the screen, that it does pull up the music,
and then you can use that as the starting point
for making the Short in the app.
Now, lets get on with the rest of the video.
And as you're going through all of this
just another thing I wanna bring
to your attention really quick
is if you run into any mistakes,
if you screw something up and you didn't get to take
that you wanted or something like that,
down here in the bottom,
you're gonna see the option right here to undo.
So if you tap on that, then you can see that
it undid my last recording right up here at the top
because I used to have another thing there
and then if I click this version right here
then you're going to see that it adds that back, boom!
And another thing you're gonna see on the screen down here
is the gallery.
So what you use that for is just like with anything else.
So all you do is you just have into that
and then you can load up a pre-made video
into your Shorts camera as well.
So if you're doing more professional stuff,
that would be where you actually get the footage in
from your phone.
Once you have everything done, the way that you want it
in the actual Short that you put together,
you're gonna see this option down here.
You wanna click on that
and then it's going to give you a preview
of what it is that you made.
Now, here you're going to see some other options
that are down on the bottom of the screen.
You're going to see music and here, when you click it
you'll see that you can see different music options
and then you can select whichever one it is that you choose.
And down here on the bottom,
you're going to see the text option
just like on YouTube Stories or Instagram here,
you can put any text that you would like
that makes sense for you
and what it is that you are doing, nimminati represent.
Next, you're going to see that we have the timeline option.
Now, what's cool about this is
let's say that you made your clip a little bit too long
and you wanted to trim it down to make sure that
you have no lead in at the beginning
or that you don't ramble on too much at the end.
All I have to do is just slide this around
and that's going to enable you to be able
to move that around as you need to.
And once you have that moved around, however you like
then you just click Done.
And then as a repeat of what we saw before,
if you click on Filters, then of course
you will see the different filter options
that you can do there to where you can put a filter
over the entire story after it's all been put together.
Once you have all of that together,
then you can click on Next and in this part
is just like when you upload videos to YouTube.
So you would create a title and when you're creating a title
you wanna make sure that you're using something
that would make people want to click on this
because your title is visible on the Short shelf.
So make sure that you're being compelling.
And then of course, you put the visibility
that you want for that particular Short
which I'm going to guess is going to be public
or scheduled or unlisted
if you're gonna be releasing this later
and then of course you want to tell YouTube
if your video is made for kids or not.
From there, you click the Upload button
at the very top right hand side of the screen
and then your Short will then go up to YouTube.

Thank you so much for watching
I'll see you next time.
