# How we write and maintain Shorty guides

Shorty publishes these guides to help people choose an editing workflow and use the product. We identify our sources, explain limitations and separate examples from measured results.

[The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 24 September 2026

## Key takeaways

- The Shorty team at Tools Products FZ-LLC publishes this site.
- Product facts are checked against the current application, documentation, pricing and release notes.
- We use a 30-day source-review queue for priority buying guides and comparisons.
- We compare the source material, main editing job, output and required control.
- Worked briefs describe a proposed edit and how to evaluate it.

## Who publishes the content

The Shorty team at Tools Products FZ-LLC publishes this site. Buying guides and comparisons are first-party editorial content. They are not independent reviews. We explain where Shorty fits and where another workflow is more suitable.

## Sources and dates

Product facts are checked against the current application, documentation, pricing and release notes. Competitor descriptions cite official product sources. When only Shorty facts are refreshed on an older comparison, the page keeps the competitor review date visible. Publication dates are not rewritten as new launches.

## Review cadence

We use a 30-day source-review queue for priority buying guides and comparisons. An overdue entry means its sources need checking; it is not a claim that the page is inaccurate. An article update does not reset the date when competitor features or prices were checked. Dates change after substantive edits or actual source checks, never automatically on a rebuild.

## Comparisons and recommendations

We compare the source material, main editing job, output and required control. Fit recommendations are editorial judgements. A feature table is not proof of speed, quality or a ranking advantage. We do not publish paid rankings or affiliate links in our buying guides.

## Examples, demos and customer evidence

Worked briefs describe a proposed edit and how to evaluate it. A launch film is labelled as a product demo. Customer stories require approved names, quotes and outputs, and any performance claim must identify the measurement and context. We do not turn a hypothetical brief into a customer result.

## Corrections

Open Help and sign in to send the URL and the disputed detail. When we make a material correction, we update the affected content and its review date. Prices and allowances should always be checked on the current pricing page before purchase.

## Keep the ideas coming

### About Shorty

Shorty edits your video for you. Upload your clips, say what you want, get a finished MP4 back. No timeline, no editing skills, no editor to hire.

### Product facts

Shorty turns your own video clips and photos into an edited MP4 from a written brief or optional reference. You can review the result and request revisions. This page collects current product facts, fit, limitations and canonical sources.

### Buying guides

Start with what you have and what you need to deliver. These guides compare editing workflows, alternatives and costs, with a clear explanation of where Shorty fits.

### Examples and demos

Adapt a worked brief for your footage, explore three product-ad openings, or watch the public Revisions launch demo. Each example explains its inputs, direction, and review steps.
