With YouTube moving into the vertical video market with YouTube Shorts, now is a great time to jump on while the platform is still quite new and not as crowded as it will be in a few years.
The best way to make a good impression is by using one of these professionally designed vertical video templates from Envato Elements. Although many of them were originally designed for Instagram Stories, they’ll also work perfectly as vertical videos for YouTube Shorts.
