PricingSome changes are about sound. Today you can ask for a sound effect in a revision, and Shorty creates it and places it on cue. The review timeline gets easier to read, your revisions play out on it as they happen, and big camera photos upload without a fuss.
Sound Effects in Revisions
Type “add a whoosh as the title slides in” or “an impact when the ball hits the net” in a revision. If your edit doesn’t have that sound yet, Shorty creates an original one and places it at the moment you describe.
A sound that repeats is made once and reused, and a sound-only change leaves your picture as it is. One revision can add up to four new sounds.
A Timeline You Can Read
Visual effects now have their own Effects track on the review timeline. Blurs, color shifts, shakes, fades and transitions appear as blocks at the moment they happen. Click one to jump straight there.
Drag the bar between the picture and the timeline to give either one more room. Every track scales to the height you choose, so the whole edit stays on screen without scrolling. Double-click the bar to hide or show the timeline, and Shorty remembers your size.
Watch Your Revision Happen
While a change is in progress, a Shorty badge moves across the timeline to the parts it’s working on, marked Editing and then Rendering. When the new version arrives, the clips and titles that moved slide into their new places and anything removed fades away, so you can see what changed at a glance.
More in This Update
Big camera photos
Full-resolution photos from 48 and 64 MP cameras used to be turned away. Shorty now accepts stills of up to 100 megapixels and resizes them for editing automatically.
Talking-head references
Five new references in Discovery are built around speech: a product review, an AI interview, two podcasts and a street interview. Each keeps the original spoken audio and uses bold, readable captions.
Good to know
How do I add a sound effect?
Open your edit, describe the sound and when it should play in the revision box, and send. For example: “Add a camera shutter click on every photo.”
Do sound effects use credits?
Yes. Each new sound uses credits. A sound that plays more than once is created once and reused.
Ask for the sound you hear in your head, and let the timeline show you the rest.
