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
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.
Add your footage. Upload your own videos. Shorty scans them for usable moments, faces, speech and motion; the soundtrack comes from the reference.
Get the cut. Shorty builds the edit plan, renders it, and gives you a finished vertical video to download and post.
The same toolkit is available to AI agents through the Shorty MCP server, so you can run the whole flow from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.
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.
Sign in, then ask Claude to recreate a short from your reference and footage.

GOT ANY QUESTIONS LEFT?
Shorty uses MCP, an open standard that lets compatible AI tools call external services. Once connected, your agent can analyse references and footage, plan edits, start renders and return the finished video.
Shorty works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and other clients that support remote MCP servers.
Shorty creates finished vertical videos from your reference and raw footage, including cuts, captions, music sync, transitions and colour treatment.
