YouTube has announced the launch of its new app called YouTube Create for creators to edit videos right on their phones.
In a move to give competition to TikTok, YouTube debuts its first video editing app YouTube Create which supports editing of YouTube Shorts and general videos.
The app has a variety of features including precision editing and trimming, automatic captioning, voiceover capabilities and access to a library of filters, effects, transitions and royalty-free music with beat-matching technology. The idea is to not let creators rely on complex editing software or tools for their YouTube videos.

The app is free of charge for all users.
