In the upload, Chen also shared a GIF video containing a demo of this feature. It appears that users can save a cut from the original video with a duration of up to 1 minute. So, users can more freely choose and share videos that are considered important or attract the attention of a wider audience.
This feature is not a new feature in video content services. Previously, Twitch had already launched a similar feature. It's just that, on YouTube, this feature is only available for selected creators who have collaborated with the company.
If you feel that the Clips feature is getting a positive response, it is possible that YouTube will soon launch it for a wider range of users. For the time being, this feature is only available on the Android and desktop versions of YouTube.
How to Use Clip Feature to Trim YouTube VideosIf you are among the creators who have the opportunity to try this feature, here are the steps for cutting the video so that it can be shared via a link.
First, open a video that has been uploaded to YouTube, then find the Clip icon located under the video. By YouTube, the Clips icon uses a scissors shape. So you can easily find it.
Once the icon has been found, click it immediately. Then a notification will appear on the screen saying "Create Clip". Click the notification, then select the part of the video that you want to cut and share.
If so, give a title to the cut video, then click the Share button if you want to share it directly on the platform. A new panel will appear containing a selection of social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter.
In addition, there is also the option to paste the link from the Clip (embed) and send it via email. Alternatively, you can also copy and paste the link from the click video that has been made.
