YouTube announced a new initiative called Creator Preview, a video series in which the Google-owned company shares what features it is working on for creators. In the first video, YouTube reveals it is building a mobile app just for creators, a feature that lets fans directly contribute funds to creators, and a “way to harness the power of the crowd to create captions and subtitles for your videos in 60+ languages.” As you can see above, YouTube doesn’t actually show off any of the features in the video: it merely interviews a few engineers about why they think these are necessary additions. Nevertheless, now you know what’s coming, and Google is asking for your feedback on Google+ and Twitter. YouTube says it will be releasing these videos “regularly,” but stopped short of revealing exactly how often.
