Sometimes a cut is nearly there. Now you can ask for the one thing that’s off and keep everything else. Captions get a designer of their own, past edits can be restored in one step, and iPhone photos upload as they are.
Refine Instead of Starting Over
Open a finished cut and describe what should change. Shorty reopens the edit it already made and changes that, instead of building a second edit from the same footage.
Your footage, brief and format carry over on their own, and Shorty doesn’t analyze your clips again, so all you write is the one note you have.
Captions Designed for Each Edit
Once the picture is cut, Shorty now designs the captions as a pass of their own. It groups the spoken words into phrases and decides, for each one, where it sits, how large it is, its color and typeface, and how it enters.
The words themselves always come from what was said in your footage, timed to the moment they’re spoken.
Recreate and Saved Prompts
Every edit keeps the prompt it was made from. Open a past edit to read it or copy it, or choose Recreate to put its prompt, reference and footage back in the composer for a fresh take.
Pick a Length
The composer now has a duration picker. Leave it on Auto and Shorty chooses the best length for your footage, pick a common length, or type your own.

iPhone photos
HEIC photos from your iPhone now upload as footage and show proper previews.
Content on screens
Ask for something to appear on a phone, laptop, TV or sign in your footage, and Shorty pins it to the surface’s four corners.
Good to know
Does refining start a new edit?
No. Shorty works on the cut you already have and changes what you asked for.
What does Recreate do?
It restores an edit’s prompt, reference and footage in the composer, so you can change anything and run it again.
Keep the cut you like. Change the part you don’t.
