YouTube’s coming attraction: Content creation app

YouTube is telling its fans what’s coming next.

The video content platform announced a new initiative called Creator Preview, a rundown of what the company is working on for its followers. According to YouTube’s Creators blog, the company is responding to its followers’ top request in a survey, to let them know what YouTube is working on ahead of time. The followers, in turn, would tell YouTube if it is on the right track.

Among YouTube’s upcoming plans is the development of a separate content creation app for smartphones. The timing could not be more fortuitous; a new report says smartphones now account for more than 87 percent of total handset shipments, a new high.

Also coming from YouTube is a crowdfunding feature that allows fans to directly contribute to their favorite YouTube creators, and a feature to create captions and subtitles for video content in multiple languages.

The company says its Creator Preview will come out regularly.

Here’s what YouTube’s engineers are saying.
