I still remember the fascination I felt when I realized what a gigantic shop window it was. Back in the late ’90s, I loved the access it gave us to all sorts of free tools and resources.

Introducing the YouTube Clipping Tool
Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to one of my go-to tools. It may not be the most complex feature, but it’s a hidden gem on YouTube that many creators overlook—the clipping tool.
Imagine discovering a secret weapon in your creative arsenal, waiting to be unleashed! This tool allows you to create clips of up to one minute, enabling you to share the most impactful moments from your videos or even others’. It’s a game-changer, and I can’t wait to show you how to make the most of it.
How to Use the Clipping Tool
Using the clipping tool is quick and easy. If you spot something in a video you want to share—whether it’s your content or someone else’s—here’s how to do it:
- Find the Moment: Navigate to the video and locate the moment you want to clip.
- Set the Clip Duration: Specify your clip’s start and end times (up to one minute).
- Add a Catchy Title: Give your clip a title that captures the moment’s essence.
- Hit Share: Once you’ve created your clip, share it across your social media platforms or save it for later.
The Endless Possibilities
Once you’ve created your clip, the possibilities are endless! You can promote your entire video while highlighting key moments, inviting your audience to engage with your content. Plus, once someone views your clip, it becomes part of your channel, making it even easier for others to discover.
Setting Up Clipping on Your Channel
To set up clipping, head to your YouTube Studio, click on Settings, then Advanced Settings, and scroll down to enable clips. By enabling clips, you’re allowing your viewers to share the most interesting parts of your videos, which can help increase your video’s reach and engagement. It’s a fantastic way to let others share your content, and you want people to spread the word about your work!
