I'm making a lot of short videos and edit them on PC. Before, I will send the videos to my phone so that I can use the Shorts tools on YouTube mobile app to finish the editing process. That is adding popular musics.
It's a lot of back and forth, so I really did not appreciate it.
Here is what I did to change that.
- I downloaded and installed the Nox Player emulator from bignox.com. (Don't use other websites. This is the official one!) Nox is free with ads.
- I used the multi-instance app to create a device with Android 9. The default instance is not compatible with the YouTube mobile app.
- I created a new Google account and added it as a Limited Editor on my channels. (Just in case someone compromises it, that account cannot remove my channel or claim ownership.)
- I installed YouTube and logged in with the new Google account.
- Opened the File assist (Ctrl+4) to see where the Windows folder is where I can add files to the Android phone.
Now, every time I want to upload short videos:
- I copy or move the file I want to upload on the Nox folder on my PC.
- I run the Nox emulator.
- Open the multi-instance option to run the Android 9 instance.
- Run the YouTube app within the Android instance.
- Upload the video and edit it as a short video as if I am on an actual phone.
Yes, it is still a bit of work, but it's faster and easier than sending it to my phone!
For Instagram and Facebook reels, I use the Meta Business Suite and it works fine.
