YouTube Shorts Creators Get New AI-Powered Remix: YouTube has just launched an exciting new feature for Shorts creators, allowing them to remix popular songs using AI technology. This tool, part of YouTube’s Dream Track program, enables creators to take existing tracks and create their own unique 30-second versions, adding personal flair to the music for use in their Shorts videos. Currently available to select creators, this feature is set to redefine how music is used and customized on the platform.
How Does the New Remix Feature Work?
Creators involved in YouTube’s Dream Track program can choose songs from a curated list and use AI to transform the track in various ways. They can change the mood or genre of the song, making it uniquely their own while retaining the original essence of the track. After the adjustments are made, the AI generates a new version of the song, which includes the creator’s preferences and ideas, giving them creative freedom in how they want to remix the track.
YouTube ensures that proper credit is given to the original song, both in Shorts and on the audio page, making it clear that the remix was created using AI assistance. This transparency helps maintain respect for the original artists while allowing creators to experiment and customize popular songs.
What is the Dream Track Program?
Launched in November 2023, the Dream Track program is powered by Google’s AI team, DeepMind. Initially available to a select group of U.S.-based creators, the program gave them access to AI-generated versions of popular artists’ voices. The feature was developed in collaboration with Universal Music Group and artists like John Legend, Charli XCX, and Troye Sivan. Over the past year, the program has expanded, now available to all creators in the U.S.
Meta’s AI Advancements:
In other AI news, Meta is also integrating new AI tools across its social media platforms. Recently, it was revealed that Meta is working on a feature for Instagram, allowing users to create their own profile pictures using AI technology, adding a new layer of creativity to their online presence.
