How to Easily Create YouTube Shorts With YouTube Remix

If you’ve already tested tools like Instagram Remix or TikTok Stitch, YouTube Remix will look pretty familiar. It’s a tool that gives you more options for creating short-form video content by letting you cut clips from existing YouTube videos, add your own content, and publish the remixed videos to your channel.

Remixes can include up to 5 seconds from the original video and up to 55 seconds of new content. The original content displays first and the new content appears directly after. 

As of September 2022, Remix is available in the YouTube mobile app only. If you’re an iOS user, you should already have access to this tool. If you’re an Android user, you may not have it yet, but you should see the Remix tool on your channel soon.

Which YouTube videos can you remix?

If you’re eager to get started with YouTube Remix, you’ll appreciate the wide variety of content that’s available to use with this tool. YouTube automatically includes all public content for use with this tool.

That means by default, virtually all shorts and long-form videos are available to remix into new content. You can use videos and shorts from your own channel or content from other channels to create YouTube remixes.

So what can’t you use in a remix? 

You can’t remix remixes or content that includes copyrighted music. And since you can only use public videos in remixes, unlisted and private videos don’t work with this tool. In addition, you can manually opt out of Remix for your channel’s content. We’ll cover those steps below.

Curious how to use Remix in your YouTube content strategy?

Here are a few ideas: Add your brand’s take on trending videos in your industry; Share your brand’s reaction to user-generated content; Update your channel’s older content or resurface evergreen content.
