Keep the demonstration, message, and ending consistent, then review each cut. These editorial briefs are ready to adapt to your clips. [The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 15 September 2026 ## Key takeaways - This is an editorial brief, not a completed customer project. - Open this brief, add your clips, and check the instruction. - Open this brief, add your clips, and check the instruction. - Open this brief, add your clips, and check the instruction. - Check product identity, demonstration, caption wording, and ending in every output. ## Prepare one shared set of footage This is an editorial brief, not a completed customer project. It illustrates creative direction and does not report ad performance. - A clear product view with readable identifying details. - A real demonstration and visible result. - A filmed problem if you want a problem-first opening. - Exact product wording and a shared closing shot. ## Choose an opening | Opening | Shot needed | Question to review | | --- | --- | --- | | Product first | A clear product view. | Can a new viewer identify the item immediately? | | Result first | The real demonstration outcome. | Does the opening show what actually happened? | | Problem first | The problem filmed before the demonstration. | Does the footage support the claimed problem and solution? | ## Product first Open this brief, add your clips, and check the instruction. Submit each edit through the normal workflow after reviewing its estimate. Make a 20-second vertical product video using only these supplied clips. Keep product colours and labels faithful to the footage. Use the exact product wording I provide, restrained captions, and no unsupported claims. Open with the clearest product view, show the demonstration, and finish on the result. Keep the demonstration and ending as the common structure for this campaign. ## Result first Open this brief, add your clips, and check the instruction. Submit each edit through the normal workflow after reviewing its estimate. Make a 20-second vertical product video using only these supplied clips. Keep product colours and labels faithful to the footage. Use the exact product wording I provide, restrained captions, and no unsupported claims. Open on the visible finished result, then introduce the product and show the demonstration. Keep the demonstration and ending as the common structure for this campaign. ## Problem first Open this brief, add your clips, and check the instruction. Submit each edit through the normal workflow after reviewing its estimate. Make a 20-second vertical product video using only these supplied clips. Keep product colours and labels faithful to the footage. Use the exact product wording I provide, restrained captions, and no unsupported claims. Open with the real problem shown in the supplied footage, introduce the product, show the demonstration, and finish on the result. Use this opening only if the problem is actually filmed. Keep the demonstration and ending as the common structure for this campaign. ## Keep the comparison useful Check product identity, demonstration, caption wording, and ending in every output. Instructions to keep these consistent are creative targets; review the actual cuts rather than assuming they differ only in the opening. ## Measure results after publishing These briefs do not establish which ad will perform best. Use your advertising platform’s actual results under comparable audience, placement, and delivery conditions. Record production credits and review time separately. ## Keep the ideas coming ### Plan campaign variants Change one purposeful element, such as the opening message or product angle, so each version has a clear reason to exist. ### Start with one product video Build a short product video around a visible benefit: introduce the item, show it working and end on the result. Use this brief with your own approved footage. ### Refine the treatment A reference guides the treatment of your footage. The result also depends on the shots you supply. Identify the specific difference, check whether the footage supports your target, and request one focused revision. ### Track production cost Compare the cost of an approved video: processing, retries, revisions and human review. A subscription price alone does not tell you what one usable result costs. Use the same brief and source material for a fair evaluation. ## Questions, answered. ### Does this create three videos automatically? No. Each button opens one brief. You select media, review the estimate, and submit the version you want. ### Which opening gets the most clicks? No performance winner is established here. Evaluate actual results under comparable conditions after publishing. ## Your next video starts here. Bring the footage. Tell us the idea. Shape the edit. --- Published by Tools Products FZ-LLC.
