When Shorty fits
Use Shorty when you have source material and want a complete cut shaped by a creative direction: product demos, event recaps, fashion reels and social videos. The reference is optional. A brief can explain the story, pacing, captions, framing and ending you want.
What can I revise?
Shorty supports follow-up revision requests. In supported editable compositions, you can select an editable element and describe a targeted change. Review the new version before sharing. Objects flattened into source footage are not automatically separate editable layers; the timeline is for playback and inspection rather than full manual frame-by-frame authoring.
Where another workflow fits better
Use a conventional timeline editor when exact layer control, masks or frame-level trims are essential. A transcript editor is useful when changing spoken sentences drives the edit. A long-video clipper is useful for extracting many highlights from one recording. Shorty’s core workflow edits supplied media; a written brief does not replace missing source footage.
Media, accounts and rights
An account and credits are required to render. A visual reference guides the editing treatment; it does not grant rights to its soundtrack or imagery. Reference audio may be used in the rendered result, so use material you are allowed to use. See the privacy policy for processing and retention details.
