Make a 9:16 Short from clips: transitions, your logo and a voice-over, no upload
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 25 Oct 2026.A Short is a vertical video under three minutes, and this page is set to 9:16 from the start. Add the clips in order, your logo over the corner, a voice-over you can cut word by word with Split and Delete, and hard cuts or a transition of your choice between clips. The video is made in your browser at the clips’ own resolution and frame rate, ready to upload.
Choose your 9:16 clips, the voice-over and your logo; a 16:9 clip is fitted with blurred bars.
Trim each clip, then split and delete the voice-over where a word went wrong.
Keep hard cuts or pick a transition such as Dissolve or Wipe left, and watch it with Preview transition.
Press Save the video and upload the MP4 to YouTube Studio as a Short.
The Video Studio turns a handful of generated or filmed clips into a finished YouTube video or Short. Clips, a voice-over and a logo go in together.
Logo and cover boxes. Your PNG logo sits bottom right at 12 per cent of the short side, over the corner icon a generator leaves, and you can drag, pinch or set it with sliders. Kept for later; off by default. A cover box hides overlay text or garbled letters on one clip, filled with a colour taken from the frame by an eyedropper, with a soft edge and rounded corners if wanted, for the whole clip or chosen seconds.
Transitions and quality. Clips join with a hard cut unless you pick a transition: dissolve, fade through black or white, four wipes, two slides, zoom in or a circle reveal, 0.1 to 2 s, for every cut or for one cut at a time. The clips' sound cross-fades with it, or dips to silence through a fade to a colour. Because the logo is on every frame, the whole video is re-encoded, at the clips' own size and frame rate and at least 16 Mbps for 1080p (45 Mbps for 4K), or 1.5 times the source's bitrate if that is higher. The result looks the same as the clips but is not a bit-for-bit copy.
The rest of the article, and all 8 questions about Video Studio, are on the Video Studio page.
None, a hard cut, is the default. You can also pick Dissolve, Fade through black or white, Wipe left, right, up or down, Slide left or right, Zoom in or Circle reveal, from 0.1 to 2 seconds. Set one for every cut, or tap a single cut to give it its own. Each transition shortens the video by its length, because the two clips overlap.
A logo changes every frame, so the whole video is encoded again; nothing can be copied untouched. Video Studio encodes at the clips' own resolution and frame rate, at 16 Mbps or more for 1080p and 45 Mbps for 4K, or 1.5 times the source bitrate. The result looks the same as the clips, and the page shows the bitrate it used.
The clip order, trims, boxes, logo settings and voice-over edits are saved in this browser as you work, and the logo image is kept too. Next time the page offers to continue. Chrome and Edge reopen the same files if you chose them with the button; elsewhere you add them again and they are matched by name and size.
Yes, on Android in Chrome, which has the video encoder the export needs. Buttons are large, clips reorder with arrows, and the logo and boxes are dragged or pinched on the picture. iPhones need a Safari version with both video and audio encoding in WebCodecs; the page checks and says so before you start.
