YouTube is adding new controls to Shorts ads. With four weeks to go until the annual YouTube Brandcast in New York City, the Alphabet-owned platform revealed new ad buying options for brands that want to target specific categories on Shorts.
Since launching Shorts ads in February 2023, YouTube has brought a steady stream of updates to its short-form revenue stream. The latest addition to the program is a new layer of customization that lets brands focus their campaigns on categories like sports, entertainment, beauty, and food. “Advertisers can now key into different types of categories, lineups, and programs,” YouTube Ads Director of Product Management Melissa Hsieh Nikolic told Ad Age.
Ad Age describes the Shorts targeting as a “tweaked” version of YouTube Select, the premium ad program that replaced Google Preferred in 2020. With the long-form version of Select, ad space on high-performing channels is roped off and put into bundles for advertisers.

Facebook is rolling out a redesigned video player and equipping its users with new playback tools. The Meta-owned social media hub is prioritizing a “consistent design” that will play content in full-screen mode — no matter if it’s a Reel, a Live broadcast, or a long-form video.
The updated video player will initially roll out on iOS and Android devices in the United States and Canada. A Facebook blog post indicates that a global rollout is scheduled for “the coming months.”
Users who switch to the new video player will be able to expand videos to full-screen mode with a single tap. Videos will initially be oriented vertically, though enhanced controls will make it easy for users to switch to landscape mode if they choose.
The end result will be a video feed that will look a lot like TikTok’s For You Page and will be accessible across Facebook.

YouTube has been offering ads on Shorts for one year, and the results have been encouraging thus far. In a blog post, YouTube Director of Product Management for Creator Monetization Thomas Kim revealed that “more than 25%” of the creators in the YouTube Partner Program are currently earning revenue from their Shorts.
Revenue sharing came to Shorts in February 2023, and a revamped Partner Program came with it. YouTube gave creators new ways to qualify for monetization by inviting in channels with at least 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts viewers over 90 days.
Some creators saw quick results. Last March, special effects guru Zach King reported Shorts revenue that came at better rates than what he received on TikTok. The earnings have since become more widespread. Kim’s blog post revealed that 80% of the creators who qualified for the Partner Program via Shorts have also utilized at least one of YouTube’s other revenue streams.

Exclusive: YouTube has been racking up milestones lately. Its pay-tv bundle, YouTube TV, just passed 8 million subscribers. YouTube Shorts, the answer to TikTok launched globally in 2021, recently hit 80 billion daily views from more than 2 billion logged-in accounts.
The most striking achievement for the Google-owned video giant, however, just may be its dominance in the living room. Nielsen’s monthly snapshot of viewing across linear TV and streaming put YouTube once again in the top spot among all streaming outlets in January, with 8.6% of all viewing on U.S. TV screens. That makes 12 consecutive months for YouTube at No. 1.
Prior to the release of the latest rankings, Deadline spoke with two of the architects of the big-screen surge: Nicky Rettke, VP Product Management for YouTube Ads, and Tara Walpert Levy, VP Americas. Combined, they have spent more than 30 years at the company.

YouTube is building Shorts into a key feature for the platform’s community of musical artists. In a blog post, YouTube announced Remix, a collection of editing tools that help fans repurpose the biggest moments from their favorite music videos.
By tapping a Remix button that will appear next to YouTube music videos, creators can incorporate elements of those videos in four different ways. The Sound option brings the original audio to the remixed Short; Collab sets up a split-screen response reminiscent of TikTok’s Stitches; Green Screen exports the original video to the background of the Remix; and the Cut tool allows users to clip specific scenes. YouTube’s blog post, attributed to Shorts exec Sarah Ali, specifies that a “five-second clip” is a good size for a Cut.

YouTube Shorts ads are more cost-effective and more engaging than their TikTok counterparts, according to the results of a test conducted by Precise.TV. After running standalone Shorts campaigns for brands like Asics, the video ad agency found that short-form YouTube ads cost about 50% less than TikTok ads.
Precise.TV’s Shorts campaigns were notable because they only included placements on YouTube’s TikTok competitor. Ads have been available on Shorts since February, but only as part of larger ad packages. Precise.TV was given unprecedented access to Shorts content, whereas other agencies rely on YouTube to allocate budgets between Shorts and long-form content.
As a result of that unique setup, Precise.TV was able to draw precise data (sorry) from its Shorts campaign. The agency’s Chief Commercial Officer, Denis Crushell, told AdAge that the YouTube Shorts spots were 46% cheaper than equivalent TikTok inventory, and the YouTube ads had more average watch time as well.

YouTube is launching a $1.6 million program that’ll pay news organizations to make short-form content.
The Shorts Innovation Program for News is intended to “strengthen news organizations’ short-form video capabilities through financial grants and specialist support,” Brandon Feldman, YouTube’s director of news & civics partnerships, and Geoff Samek, YouTube’s director of product management for news, said in a company blog post.
For now, YouTube’s pouring cash and support into 20 organizations across 10 countries. Those organizations, it says, were selected based on a “strong existing long-form video presence on YouTube, but looking to improve and expand their Shorts news content creation.”
The program’s first wave of orgs include Univision, France’s Afp, and Singapore’s Mediacorp. YouTube says it will work these organizations for at least the next year.

YouTube For Now Is Focusing More On Refining NFL Sunday Ticket Than On Pursuing NBA Rights, CEO Says
YouTube CEO Neal Mohan said the video giant is more focused on refining its newest sports experience, NFL Sunday Ticket, than it is in pursuing NBA rights when they become available after the 2024-25 season.
Speaking at Bloomberg’s Screentime event in LA, Mohan didn’t rule out a potential bid but said it isn’t a near-term priority. Disney/ESPN and Warner Bros. Discovery currently share domestic rights but questions have swirled about the future rights arrangement given the recent entry of streaming giants into the live sports business. At the same time Big Tech has moved in, traditional media companies have been belt-tightening and coping with the shrinking pay-tv bundle, advertising softness and the expense of bolstering their own direct-to-consumer streaming efforts.
“We’re taking it one step at a time right now,” Mohan said. “We have the NFL. Sunday Ticket is a big area of focus for us,...

Mary Ellen Coe was installed as YouTube’s Chief Business Officer last fall, just as the activity level at the company was beginning to surge even by the breakneck standards of a startup-turned-digital-behemoth.
Since she landed in her new role after a 10-year run at Google and a prior chapter at McKinsey, many major headlines have blared. The company secured NFL Sunday Ticket in a $14 billion, seven-year rights deal that kicked off this month. YouTube TV, now a top-5 U.S. pay-tv operator, got an unexpected boost from Disney’s battle with Charter over carriage on Spectrum TV. YouTube Shorts passed 50 billion daily views less than two years after its global launch. And on the corporate front, a leadership shuffle saw Susan Wojcicki hand the CEO baton to Neal Mohan and Robert Kyncl depart after 12 years and become CEO of Warner Music Group.

YouTube is a top distribution platform for creators, but the Google-owned hub wants to integrate itself into the production pipeline, too. At its Made On YouTube event, CEO Neal Mohan announced multiple AI-driven tools that are designed to provide inspiration and streamline the video creation process.
The new tools will enhance the creator experience on YouTube Shorts. Three years after unveiling its TikTok competitor, YouTube is helping its short-form community concoct videos that are out of this world. The platform’s Dream Screen will bring “fantastic settings” to Shorts by harnessing the power of generative AI. Users will input setting ideas into the Dream Screen and receive AI-generated backgrounds in response.
During the Made On event, Mohan claimed that YouTube’s push into AI will open up new opportunities for aspiring creators. “Many people today believe that becoming a YouTuber is out of their reach,” Mohan said. “At YouTube,...

YouTube’s chief business officer Mary Ellen Coe often gets asked about how to break into the media industry. One observation she’s made in talking with members of younger generations is that they have “a sense that careers are linear.”
“People will say, ‘Well, I’d like to be a CEO one day’ and I always share that careers are long and they are not always linear,” she told TheWrap for this week’s Office With a View. “What are you finding inspiring? What are you passionate about? Opportunities present themselves and being open to an opportunity that wasn’t necessarily planned at the time can take you off on a new path of growth.”
Coe has worked in tech and media for over 30 years. She made the jump to YouTube about a year ago after a decade spent in Google’s ads operations working with small and medium-sized businesses.

Robert Rodriguez is a filmmaker who found a way to work his career on his own terms. It helps that he is practically self-sustaining with his own studio and insists on doing some of the biggest parts of productions himself. The filmmaker recently explored the Hitchcockian thriller world with his mind-bending suspense film, Hypnotic, with Ben Affleck. Rodriguez is also a family-oriented director in every sense. Not only has he had success with the family action series, Spy Kids, but he also involves his own family with his movies. His cousins have been featured in his films, his former wife continues to be a producing partner, and his sons are now joining him behind the camera.
Netflix has just released the new trailer for Spy Kids: Armageddon. The official synopsis reads,

San Francisco, Sep 4 (Ians) YouTube’s TikTok competitor Shorts may cannibalise the core, long-form video business of the Google-owned video streaming platform, the media reported.
According to a report in The Financial Times, citing veteran YouTube staff, the short-video platform Shorts “risks cannibalising its core business”.
Google recently announced that Shorts now has more than 2 billion logged-in monthly users, giving it an edge over competitors like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
“Recent YouTube strategy meetings have discussed the risk that long-form videos, which produce more revenue for the company, are ‘dying out’ as a format,” the report mentioned late on Sunday.
YouTube staff feels that “content creators are making fewer long-form videos — driven by a lack of consumer appetite and commissions from brands that favour short-form content for product placement”.
YouTube says Shorts was “designed to complement, not compete with, all the other formats creators use” on the platform, such as audio and livestreams.

The Toronto International Film Festival has added an additional 17 films to its 2023 lineup, with the new entries the work of a variety of bold international directors, from Radu Jude and Kleber Mendonca Filho to the late Jean-Luc Godard and Chantal Akerman.
The Wavelength section contains 12 features, two films paired in a single program and 19 shorts grouped in three separate programs. It is devoted to “artist-driven experimental films,” in the words of TIFF Chief Programming Officer Anita Lee. “Wavelengths continues to be a celebration of subversion, personal expression, and the vast, inexhaustible capabilities of cinema to enlighten, inspire, awe, resist, disrupt, and propose new ways of seeing and being in the world.”
Films in the section include “Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World” from the fiery Romanian satirist Radu Jude, “Here” from Belgian director Bas Devos,” the “Oedipus” retelling “Music” from Angela Schanelec, Brazilian Kleber Mendonca...

One thing you can’t fault Robert Rodriguez for — he makes the movies he wants to make. The notorious do-it-yourself director found his way into the studio system by way of cutting down production costs by working a number of positions himself and creatively shooting around normally complicated set-ups. His bets usually paid off when his films would hit and make a profit, thanks to his ingenuity. Ever since, he’s existed with one foot inside as well as one foot outside of Hollywood. After The Book of Boba Fett and the recent thriller Hypnotic, Rodriguez has returned to his unlikely family franchise hit with Spy Kids: Armageddon.
The official synopsis from Netflix reads,
When the children of the world’s greatest secret agents unwittingly help a powerful Game Developer unleash a computer virus that gives him control of all technology, they must become spies themselves to save their parents and the world.

If you ask Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson or Google’s Senior Director of Product Management, Todd Beaupré (who may even know more about YouTube than Donaldson ) any questions about the algorithm, they’ll both respond with the same answer.
Replace the word algorithm with audience.
“Jimmy and/or Todd!! How do I make content the algorithm is going to like?” becomes a much more straightforward question when you change it to “Jimmy and/or Todd!! How do I make content my audience is going to like?” The rule of success on the platform isn’t to feed the algorithm, it’s to provide compelling content to your audience.
It turns out platforms need to follow the same rule.

So, when the social media class she took in college required her to make a TikTok account for a project, she was stoked. But despite being excited to start posting videos, she wasn’t really expecting anything to come of them. Maybe her classmates would watch them. Maybe a few friends.
Or maybe millions of people.
“I was actually going to try to do an American Idol audition as a joke and film it, but I could never get into the Zoom audition, so I just figured I’ll post TikTok because I still thought it was funny,” she says. “It was a challenge of singing Madison Beer’s song, I think it was “Selfish,” that was trending at the time.

YouTube‘s annual Brandcast is slated for the TV Upfronts this year instead of the digital-focused NewFronts, but the platform is still making an appearance at the NewFronts–with some updates about ads on YouTube Shorts.

So, YouTube is bringing two new ad types to Shorts: video reach campaigns and YouTube Select.

At its annual NewFronts presentation for media buyers Monday, the digital video giant said it is opening up real estate for ads within video reach campaigns, which benefit from AI tools. Since last fall, ads have been available via video action and app campaigns, which are different categories.
Kristen O’Hara, VP, Agency and Brand Solutions for Google, took the stage at YouTube’s New York headquarters along the Hudson River to deliver the news. Later, in an interview with Deadline, she said the Shorts effort has thus far been a “measured approach,” and said viewers wouldn’t notice a change in terms of volume or frequency of ads.
“When people are scrolling through their Shorts feed, they really are in discovery mode,” she said. “So in addition to being able to discover new creators and new artists, they’re...

Like many other publishers in the online video business, Team Whistle is making a big bet on short-form content. The sports-oriented media company has unveiled an original programming slate that will be distributed across formats like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.
Team Whistle will increase its short-form presence through five originals, some of which will build on previously-produced shows. The media company formerly known as Whistle Sports has shared the training regimens of top athletes with a series called No Days Off. That program will now get its own spin-off: Meet the Parents will examine how leading sportspeople are inspired by their family members. For viewers who crave more off-the-field insights, Team Players will celebrate philanthropic efforts undertaken by sports pros.
The other new series in Team Whistle’s short-form slate include a pair of programs that resemble typical sports talk shows. Cold Calls will bring Whistle staffers together...

Short-form video has transformed the music industry, and YouTube is helping its brand partners keep up with all the change. The leading video platform has announced a pair of new ad products: Gen Z Music and Trending Music On Shorts.
One of the two new solutions is already available. Gen Z Music allows brands to stay in front of 18-to-24-year-olds as those coveted consumers listen to their favorite tracks across multiple formats. Using AI, YouTube will identify the songs Gen Z is obsessed with and package those hits together for advertisers.
A blog post attributed to the VP of Product Management at YouTube Ads, Nicky Rettke, identified Korean chart-toppers Blackpink as one group whose videos can be included in Gen Z Music bundles. “According to research agency TalkShoppe, viewers report splitting their viewing time across many different video formats — with Gen Z (18-24) spending no more than 22% of their viewing time watching one format,...

Digital and social media marketing chiefs of major studios said today they’re really hoping the threat of a U.S. government ban on Tiktok never materializes, so crucial has the platform become to launching films. They’d also like Elon Musk-owned Twitter to get itself together, since that’s also a key platform for Hollywood.
“I don’t personally think that TikTok is going to go away, at least not anytime soon in the U.S., said Alex Sanger, EVP, Digital Marketing, Universal Pictures at a CinemaCon panel today hosted by Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro.
“We’ve been using TikTok since it was called Musical.ly,” he said. It was important then, “During the pandemic it became even more important, and it just continues to be so. We find it to be a viable platform for basically every one of our films. M3GAN was certainly one of those.

Along with being part of The Lonely Island comedy trio that made "SNL Digital Shorts" a key part of the modern success of "Saturday Night Live" in the 2000s, Andy Samberg also became well-known on the late-night sketch series for doing a spot-on Nicolas Cage impersonation.
As part of a recurring Weekend Update segment called "Get in the Cage with Nicolas Cage," Samberg would portray Cage and sit at the news desk with whoever the "SNL" host was that week, including the likes of Liam Neeson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, and even Paul Rudd. Though the segment was described as being about the craft of acting, it would always turn into Cage describing one of the actor's films that would be perfect for Cage to star in, followed by the inevitable question, "How am I not in that movie!?" Samberg's Nicolas Cage bit became such a hit that Nicolas Cage...
