What Shorty is

Shorty is an AI-powered video editing application for creators, marketers and social teams who publish short-form video. You bring the raw footage; Shorty does the editing work that normally takes hours in a timeline editor — choosing the strongest moments, cutting them to the beat, writing and styling captions, matching a colour grade, and exporting the finished video in the shape your reference is actually cut in — vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 4:5, 1:1, 3:4, 4:3, 16:9 and cinematic 21:9 when the edit calls for them.

The application is named Shorty and is published at shortyedit.com. It is operated by The Interactive Company of Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Questions: marketing@shorty.ai.

How Shorty works

1. Choose a reference. Pick one of the example edits above, or upload a short clip whose style you want to copy. Shorty analyses its pacing, captions, transitions and colour grade and turns them into an editing spec.
2. Add your footage. Upload your own videos. Shorty scans them for usable moments, faces, speech and motion; the soundtrack comes from the reference.
3. Get the cut. Shorty builds the edit plan, renders it, and gives you a finished vertical video to download and post.

Accounts and sign-in

You need a Shorty account to save projects and render videos. You can create one with an email magic link, or by choosing Continue with Google. The Google consent screen shown during sign-in identifies the same application, Shorty, at this domain. When you sign in with Google, Shorty receives only your basic Google profile information — your name, email address, profile picture and Google account ID — and uses it solely to create and authenticate your Shorty account. Shorty does not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts or any other Google service data, and never sells or shares your Google account data with third parties for advertising.

Your uploaded footage stays in your own account's private storage and is used only to produce the edits you ask for. You can delete your projects and request account deletion at any time by emailing marketing@shorty.ai.

The Jenny Hoyos editing style, decomposed

The Jenny Hoyos style is Shorts as story engineering: the hook is the first frame, every sentence buys the next one, and the ending is written to loop. It looks low-fi, but nothing is casual — each b-roll swap exists because the narration moved forward, and anything that doesn't advance the story is cut. Recreating it means scripting the edit around retention beats rather than around the footage you happen to have, which is exactly the discipline most creators skip.

• HookThe first second states the premise outright — no intro, no logo, no throat-clearing.
• PacingEvery sentence of narration gets its own visual — the frame changes as fast as the story does.
• StructureBeats escalate toward a payoff, and the last line hands you back to the first for the rewatch loop.
• CaptionsShort, plain, readable captions that support the narration without decorating over it.

How to edit like Jenny Hoyos with Shorty

1. Start from the brief above. The composer is already filled in with a Jenny Hoyos-style editing brief — tweak it, or upload a short reference video in the style you admire and Shorty analyses its pacing, captions, transitions and colour grade.
2. Add your footage. Upload your own videos and images, plus an optional music track. Shorty scans them for usable moments, faces and speech; your files stay private to your account.
3. Get the finished video. Shorty plans, edits and renders the cut in the reference's own format — vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts through cinematic 21:9 — ready to download and post.
