YouTube Create is a video editing app for combining video, photos and audio, adding captions, transitions and visual effects, and uploading finished work to a YouTube channel.
YouTube Create: a mobile video editing app
YouTube Create is a mobile editing app for assembling video clips, photos and audio in one project. It provides editing tools for shaping a draft and preparing it for YouTube. Features can vary by app version, device and language, so check the options available on your device before starting.
Main features
- Edit clips: Import video, photos and audio, trim or crop clips, and connect shots with a range of transitions. Review pacing, framing and image quality yourself.
- Captions and audio: Automatic captions are available in some language versions. Audio cleanup can help reduce background noise, while the cutout effect can remove a video background. Check the results for accuracy and sound quality.
- Music and voiceover: Use music or sound effects offered in the app, record a voiceover, and use beat matching to align edits with music. Check the license and permitted use of each track.
- Visual styling: Adjust a scene with filters and effects; add fonts, animated text, stickers, GIFs and emoji. Keep text readable and away from important subjects.
- Sharing formats: Set a vertical, horizontal or square aspect ratio, then upload the finished video to a YouTube channel.

Best for and limitations
The app can support mobile edits for short videos, tutorials, travel clips, everyday footage and early YouTube drafts. Keeping assembly, audio tools and visual elements in one workflow may reduce app switching, but it does not replace planning or a final review.
Automatic captions may misrecognize names, numbers or punctuation. Noise reduction, background removal and effects can also change the original sound or image. Review the result closely. Music and sound-effect permissions depend on each track’s terms; do not assume they cover every platform, region or commercial use. Check the app’s current information if a feature is missing.
