Sound Effects, a Bigger Shorty MCP and More

Sound Effects, Made to Order

Describe a sound, like “a crisp cinematic whoosh ending in a soft bass impact,” and Shorty creates an original effect from half a second to 22 seconds long. Ask for a loop when it needs to run under a scene.

Your assistant can then place the sound at an exact moment in your edit, trim it, set its volume and speed, and fade it in or out. Your clips keep their own audio in the mix, so you don’t lose the sound you filmed.

The Director’s Toolkit, in Your Assistant

Edits your assistant writes can now use the same catalogs as Shorty’s director: text animations, text treatments, editorial layouts, motion loops and stickers. It can search them too, so it picks a real style instead of guessing one.

Scene tools come along as well. Your assistant can cut a subject out of a frame or a whole shot, track a moving object, place text behind something in the scene, and measure where things are and how they move.

Renders That Survive a Disconnect

Long renders no longer depend on your connection. If a call times out or your assistant disconnects, the render keeps going. Ask for its status later to get the finished video. Repeating the same render request picks up the same job instead of starting a new one.
