Why V-Tubers should create Shorts

YouTube's algorithm greatly favors Shorts. By adding Shorts to your V-Tuber channel, you can gain the following benefits:

  • Increased channel exposure: Shorts frequently appear in YouTube's 'Discover' tab, introducing your content to new viewers.
  • Expanding fan base: You can attract new fans with short and engaging content.
  • Driving traffic to main content: Viewers who come through Shorts are more likely to move on to your live streams or longer videos.

Popular V-Tuber Shorts formats

Let's look at popular formats for creating successful V-Tuber Shorts:

2.1 Dance Challenge

Typically, V-Tubers record their movements using motion capture suits or VR controllers while actually dancing. Afterward, they refine the captured motion in professional 3D software and apply it to their character. Then, they add music and effects in a video editing program. Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QMlpfYw-bIQ

2.2 Humorous Videos

V-Tubers control their characters using real-time face tracking and motion capture during live streaming. After streaming, they select funny moments, cut them out in a video editing program, and add effects. For new content, they hold separate recording sessions. Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CCIowKvrYsw
