Editing video for YouTube doesn't require opening a desktop editor. Most of the work is three things: taking the right part of a long recording, switching to 16:9 (long-form) · 9:16 (Shorts) framing and burning in captions. BeamTake does all three in one flow; the export downloads as 1920×1080 · 1080×1920 or goes straight to your account.

YouTube viewers watch sound on, often on a big screen and decide within the first 15 seconds. On screen, on Shorts the bottom ~180 px is covered by the title and channel name, so putting text there is wasted.

Content on YouTube travels two ways: search and recommendations. Search keeps sending traffic for years, recommendations spike in the first hours and fade. The Shorts feed sits in between: it spreads through recommendations but is also fed by search.
No, it runs in the browser. Even screen recording happens in the browser.
Yes. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and audio files work, or paste a link.
No. Without connecting, download the export and upload it yourself. Connect it to schedule posts from the calendar.
Every plan exports at 1080 pixels on the short side. The Studio plan unlocks 4K (2160 on the short side); a lower-resolution source isn't artificially upscaled.
