PricingToday’s update gives Shorty a bigger design kit. The director can now set a number, a list or a title card the way an editorial designer would, and add seamless motion loops and stickers. Words can also sit behind a moving subject.
Editorial Layouts
When an edit needs a figure on screen, a ranked list or a title card, Shorty now draws from 100 typeset editorial layouts: headline figures, bars, rings and gauges, numbered lists and timelines, lower thirds, pull quotes and end cards.
Each layout keeps its own typesetting and takes your colors and copy. Figures can count up from zero instead of popping in, and layouts animate in, then hold still so they can be read.
Motion Loops and Stickers
Shorty also has 100 text-free motion loops, from rings and grids to scan lines, equalizers and node graphs, plus 60 flat stickers: faces, chart glyphs, objects and signs. Loops cycle without a visible seam, and every sticker carries a white outline so it reads over any footage.
They’re decoration, so they show up where the edit calls for them and stay out of shots that don’t.
Words Behind Your Subject
Ask for a title behind a person walking through the frame, or behind a window frame, a column or a doorway, and Shorty places the words inside the scene. The foreground passes in front of the text, so it reads as part of the shot rather than something laid on top.
Good to know
Can I ask for a stat card or a sticker?
Yes. Describe it in your brief, for example “show 3× faster as a big number” or “add a fire sticker on the drop.” You supply the words and numbers. The director picks the layout and the timing.
Will every edit get stickers now?
No. Loops and stickers are used where an edit calls for them, not as filler on every shot.
Bring a brief with a number worth showing, and see how it lands.
