YouTube Shorts Introduces Remix of Music Videos and Auto-Captions Feature

To remix official music videos for Shorts on YouTube:

1. Open the YouTube app and find the music video you want to use.
2. Tap the Remix button below the video.
3. Choose from four remix options:
   • Sound: Extract the audio to use as your Short's soundtrack.
   • Green Screen: Use the video as a background, filming yourself in front of it.
   • Cut: Clip a specific part to include in your Short.
   • Collab: Create a side-by-side collaboration with a clip from the music video.

The new YouTube Shorts remix options offer endless creative possibilities, including:

• Dance or lip-sync: Using the music video as a backdrop to showcase your dance moves or vocal talents.
• Tell a story: Creating a short narrative with your own footage, using the music video as a starting point.
• Add your own twist: Getting creative with your Short, whether it's funny, dramatic, or unique, using the music video for inspiration.

To enable auto-captions on YouTube videos:

1. Open the YouTube app and start playing a video.
2. Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Select Subtitles/CC from the menu.

Auto-captions on YouTube can be beneficial for:

• Learning a new language: They help improve listening comprehension and vocabulary when watching videos in your target language.
• Following along with complex dialogue: Captions aid understanding of videos with heavy accents or fast-paced speech.
• Making videos accessible: Enabling captions on your videos makes them more accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
