With its softer look and ease of use, watercolor painting has become a favored medium for artists on YouTube. Creators experiment with their videos often depicting beautiful, comforting subjects accompanied by calming music. Through YouTube, this classic art form finds fresh relevance in modern media.

From mesmerizing time-lapses and color mixing to tiny paintings, tutorials, and even paint making, the formats are endlessly creative.

Today, we’re introducing “Reimagine,” a new tool that gives everyone the ability to transform a single frame from an existing YouTube Short into an entirely new 8-second clip. Powered by Veo, Reimagine puts a new spin on remixing.

With just a few taps, viewers can insert themselves or objects into any eligible Short using up to two references from their photo gallery. Then, using either Gemini-suggested or custom-generated text prompts, Reimagine creates a high-quality video with audio, turning ideas into realities in no time. Every Reimagined Short links directly back to the original work, ensuring creators receive credit while expanding their reach to new audiences.

Look for Reimagine under the Remix tool on eligible Shorts to get started.

Stunt performers are often the unsung heroes of Hollywood’s biggest productions, but on YouTube, they take center stage. Combining gymnastics, martial arts, and engineering, creators from a variety of disciplines use both long and short-form videos to show off their incredible skills. They invite audiences in to learn the tricks of the trade and understand how to execute them safely and correctly. (But, these are professionals. Please don’t try this at home without proper safety gear, training and supervision).

Audiences are undeniably captivated by this glimpse into the magic behind the action: Ronnie Street Stunts' video "Meet The Spider-Fam" has received more than 750M views.*
