Frequently asked questions

Should I use the official YouTube Shorts app?

We love the YouTube Shorts app, and it’s perfect for posting quick hits to your YouTube channel and keeping the conversation going with your subscribers. But you should consider using Imaginario AI if:

You have a large back-catalog of video content which you want to search and repurpose
You manage other social channels (such as TikTok or Instagram), and want to efficiently create content for each channel
You speak with an accent, use lots of technical language, or otherwise find YouTube’s captioning isn’t accurate for your content
You want to save time manually reviewing content and prefer AI-powered highlights as a starting point

What video format do I need for YouTube Shorts?

YouTube is famous for its long-form, landscape (also known as horizontal or 16:9) videos, but Shorts are specifically designed to be mobile-first, snackable videos leaning on the portrait (also known as vertical or 9:16) format pioneered by Snapchat and TikTok. So, if you are creating YouTube content in landscape format it will need to be reframed for use in your Shorts.

Specifically, YouTube accepts square (1:1) and vertical (9:16) videos in MP4 format, with a length of up to 60 seconds.
