Annual Plans, Longer Briefs, Montage Bursts and More

This week brings a new way to pay and more room to say what you want. Creator, Pro and Studio can now be billed once a year, the brief field takes a full paragraph, and the rapid-fire montages in your references make it into your edits.

Annual Plans

Creator, Pro and Studio now come with annual billing, at a lower monthly price than paying month to month. Switch between monthly and annual right on the pricing page.

You pay once a year, and your plan’s credits refresh every month, the same rhythm as a monthly plan.

Say More in Your Brief

Recreating a style takes a paragraph, not a sentence: the captions to match, the beat to cut on, the black bars not to add. The brief field used to stop at 600 characters. It now holds more than three times that.

The field also grows as you write, so you can read your whole brief before you send it, and it scrolls once it gets long.

Montage Bursts

When a reference fires off a rapid burst of cuts, like a second of quick close-ups, Shorty now sees each cut in it instead of one blur of motion. Your edit gets a burst of its own, built from the strongest moments in your footage.

Edit Like a Creator

New “Edit like” pages break down the editing styles of well-known creators: the pacing, the captions, the color and the sound. Each page is Shorty itself, with that style already written into the brief. Add your footage and start editing.

More in This Update

Captions clear of the feed

On vertical edits, captions and titles now stay out of the areas where Reels and TikTok draw their own buttons and captions.

Cleaner final renders

Finished videos are now rendered at full quality with accurate color, so dark scenes and caption edges stay clean.

Good to know

How do credits work on an annual plan?

Annual plans are billed once a year, and the plan’s credits refresh every month throughout the subscription.

Where are the “Edit like” pages?

Start at shortyedit.com/edit-like. Every page opens the editor with that creator’s style brief ready to go.

Write the whole idea down, and let Shorty take it from there.
