You can publish YouTube Shorts directly from Descript. When you’re done editing and the clip is in the right format, you just need to connect Descript to your YouTube account and hit Publish. Don't forget to keep it under 60 seconds and include #Shorts in the title or description.
You can create YouTube Shorts from existing videos using Descript. The app allows you to manually crop and rotate the clip to set the right orientation, add captions, trim for length, and publish directly to YouTube. Or you can do it in seconds using Underlord's AI repurposing powers.
To upload a video file to YouTube Shorts, it should be under 60 seconds, and the aspect ratio should be square or vertical (ideally 9:16 or 1080 x 1920 pixels).
