YouTube still wants its users to keep things brief, but it's reimagining the tools that cut videos down to size. A feature called Clips, which gave viewers the power to pull short-form segments from their favorite videos, is being discontinued. In its place, creators will be able to generate clips via YouTube Studio. Thanks to the popularity of short-form feeds, clipping has become an important tactic for creators big and small. As a result, numerous third-party services have emerged to streamline and monetize clipping. The brands buying into that industry range from OpusClip to MrBeast.
