We came to Anaheim today to offer them a sneak preview of new features
and updates we’re releasing in the coming months. Here’s a look at the
things we’ve been working on to help you make more your videos even more
awesome, to reach global audiences and grow your businesses on YouTube.
- YouTube Creator Studio: Did you know that after Rebecca Black
uploaded “Friday,” she went on a school trip, not knowing for several
days the video was going viral? To help you manage your videos on the
go, the new YouTube Creator Studio app lets you see analytics, manage
your videos and more. The app is available now on Android and launching
on iOS in coming weeks and you’ll see some redesign of the Creator
Studio on desktop too.
- Audio Library, now with sound effects: You’ve used the hundreds of free songs in the Audio Library
on millions of your videos. But until now, you’ve had to go through
extreme lengths to make your own zombie screams and fighter plane
sounds. To make your lives easier and videos better, from today you now
have thousands of royalty-free sound effects at your disposal. We’ve
also added more tracks to the Audio Library.
- 60 (yeah, six-zero) frames per second: Your video game
footage with crazy high frame rates will soon look as awesome on YouTube
as it does when you’re playing, when we launch support for 48 and even
60 frames per second in the coming months. Take a look at some preview
videos on the YT Creator Channel. Make sure you’re watching in HD!
- Fan Funding: Your fans aren’t just watching your videos, they’re also helping support your channel through services like KickStarter, IndieGogo, Patreon
and more. We’ll be adding another option for you, where fans will be
able to contribute money to support your channel at any time, for any
reason. A handful of creators are testing this feature soon on desktop
and Android, including Dulce Delight, Fitness Blender, The Healthcare Triage, The King of Random, Soul Pancake, Steve Spangler Science, The Young Turks, and Thug Notes. If you’re interested in trying it on your channel, sign up here.
- Creator Credits: Collaboration is a key to great videos on
YouTube. You’re already giving your collaborators shout outs in your
video descriptions. But what if those text-based shout outs were tags
that let viewers click through to their channels, or let you search for a
collaborator based on their work and location? That’s our vision for
Creator Credits, stay tuned for more.
- Subtitles contributed from fans: More than a billion people
watch YouTube each month, but not all of them speak the same language
and some are deaf or hard of hearing. Automatic speech recognition and
automatic translation on YouTube can help, but your fans can do an even
better job. In the coming months, your fans will be able to submit
translations in any language based on the subtitles or captions you’ve
created, helping you reach even more viewers. You can try this out now
on Barely Political, Fine Art-Tips, Got Talent Global and Unicoos.
- Info Cards: Annotations are useful, but not as ridiculously
good looking as say, Blue Steel. In the near future, you’ll see our new
interactive information cards with a clean look, which you’ll beable to
program once to work across desktop, phones and tablets.
- SiriusXM & YouTube: We love supporting artists, and so do our friends at SiriusXM. That’s why we teamed up to launch “The YouTube 15,” a weekly show on SiriusXM’s Hits 1 hosted by Jenna Marbles and featuring the biggest names and rising stars in music from YouTube.
- More ways to playlist: Along with playlists analytics we
recently added to analytics, expect to see more ways to create
playlists, so that all the time you spend building them translates into
easier discovery for viewers and better results for you.
