How to Make a YouTube Shorts Video on Android

YouTube Shorts are vertical videos of up to 3 minutes. A good Short grabs attention in the first second and is easy to follow without sound.

1. Set the right format

Create a PressCut project in 9:16 (1080 × 1920). Horizontal clips can be reframed or placed on a blurred background.

2. Edit for attention

• Start with the most interesting moment.
• Cut pauses with silence removal.
• Add auto captions – many people watch without sound.
• Use Beat Sync if you edit to music.

3. Export and upload

1. Export in 1080p without a watermark.
2. In the YouTube app tap + → Create a Short → Upload and pick your video.
3. Write a short title with the words people search for.
