Shorty Asks Before It Edits: Better First Cuts, Fewer Redos
When your brief leaves big choices open, like how long the video should be or whether to keep your own voice, Shorty asks the questions it needs before it edits. Your answers help the first cut start from what you meant: fewer revisions, fewer credits and less waiting.

Reference Match 2.0 now matches the details of the video you love. Talking Heads keeps the speaker centred and covers the moments they read from their phone. And Sony S-Log footage starts from natural colour.
Voice Changer and Folder Import: A New Voice, and a Whole Shoot in One Drop
Shorty’s new voice changer gives your recording a different voice and keeps your words, timing and delivery: just ask in your brief. And you can now drop a whole folder of videos and photos from your computer, subfolders included.
Every Edit Now Costs Half, and It’s Ready Sooner
Every Shorty edit now uses half the credits: about 500 instead of 1,000 on Auto, the default director, so the same plan makes twice as many edits. On GPT 6 Luna an edit starts at 23¢. Edits are also ready sooner.

Shorty now removes ums, uhs, stutters and false starts from your video as part of the edit. Ask in one sentence; captions and timing follow the clean take.

Discovery now shows edits by curated Shorty authors, each with a profile you can follow, and any edit there can be shared by link or recreated with your own footage. And your footage can come from a shared Google Drive folder again.
AI Voiceover: Your Edit, Narrated
Ask for a voiceover in your brief and Shorty’s director casts a voice that fits, writes the script, speaks every line and cuts the picture to the voice, with captions on every word. Plus favorites that follow your account.
Stock Footage from Pixabay and Dropbox Import
When your brief calls for a shot your footage doesn’t have, Shorty’s director finds it in Pixabay’s free stock videos and photos and cuts it in. And your own footage can now come straight from Dropbox.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash vs Auto: 16 Real Edits, Side by Side
We gave DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Shorty’s Auto the same 16 real edit requests, from talking heads and ads to reference remakes, tracking and masks, and had every pair judged blind. Auto won 11, DeepSeek won 2, and 3 were ties.
Stabilization, Clean Sound, Color Grading, Upscaling, 4K and More
Shorty now measures camera shake in every clip and stabilizes the shaky ones without being asked, cleans up noisy voices, evens out loudness, grades with 32 film looks or your reference’s color, restores and upscales soft footage, draws 3D captions in Cyrillic and Arabic and delivers 4K when you ask for it. Plus a new director behind Auto.
Camera Tracking: Lock the Shot on Any Subject
Ask for camera tracking in your brief and Shorty keeps a face, a hand or a logo pinned in place while the world moves around it. No box to draw, no keyframes to fix.
Speed Curves, Motion Blur and Stabilization
Describe your edit and Shorty’s director now ramps shots along speed curves, into smooth slow motion and back, adds motion blur to every speed-up and steadies shaky handheld footage.

Write the caption words you want and Shorty uses them. Caption rules in your brief are kept, long words stay in frame, and captions are checked over the finished picture before delivery.
