# A 20-second product demonstration

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.

[The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 15 September 2026

## Key takeaways

- This is an editorial brief to adapt, not a completed customer project.
- Open the brief in Shorty, replace any details with your actual requirements and select your footage.
- Shorty supports follow-up revision requests.
- Check that the correct product stays visible, the demonstration supports the message, and captions do not introduce a claim the footage cannot prove.

## Start with these source clips

This is an editorial brief to adapt, not a completed customer project. The result depends on the footage and instructions you provide.

- One clear product view with readable packaging or product details.
- A real demonstration of the main benefit.
- A detail shot and a result shot that support the same claim.

## Plan the story

| Part | Intended action | Review question |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Opening | Show the product clearly | Can a viewer identify the item without extra explanation? |
| Demonstration | Show one benefit in use | Does the footage actually support the written claim? |
| Ending | Hold on the result | Is the closing message readable and accurate? |

## Use this editing brief

Open the brief in Shorty, replace any details with your actual requirements and select your footage. Starting from the brief fills in the instruction; you choose when to submit the edit.

Make a 20-second vertical product video from these clips. Open with a clear product shot, show the main benefit through the real demonstration, and finish on the result. Keep product labels readable. Use restrained captions and no unsupported claims. Keep the product in frame and use only the supplied footage.

## Make the next revision specific

Shorty supports follow-up revision requests. In supported editable compositions, you can select an editable element and describe a targeted change. Review the new version before sharing. Objects flattened into source footage are not automatically separate editable layers; the timeline is for playback and inspection rather than full manual frame-by-frame authoring.

Hold the final product shot longer so the label can be read. Keep the demonstration and caption wording unchanged.

## Check the finished MP4

Check that the correct product stays visible, the demonstration supports the message, and captions do not introduce a claim the footage cannot prove.

Watch the downloaded file with sound and once without sound. Confirm captions, framing and the ending before publishing. Record actual time or credits only after completing your own edit.

## Keep the ideas coming

### Product video guide

Start with one product benefit and a set of real demonstration clips. Give Shorty those clips and a clear sequence or reference, then review the rendered first cut for product accuracy, captions and framing. It fits teams that need an assembled edit from material they already own.

### Ecommerce workflows

Turn product clips into demonstrations, collection launches and social videos. Show the details, tell the story and give shoppers a closer look.

### All examples

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.

### Measure your own editing 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.

### Make your first edit

Add your clips or photos, describe the edit, and optionally add a reference video. Review the canvas and credit estimate before submitting. Shorty prepares the cut; you can review the result, request changes, and download the MP4.

### Download and review

Open the completed result in Edits and use its download action to save the MP4. If playback or downloading fails, reopen the existing result and try again before starting another render. Review the saved file before publishing.

### Keep product packaging, labels and colours accurate

Edit the footage you filmed instead of generating new product shots, write the details that must stay true into the brief, and check the exported video against the real product. Shorty assembles your own clips and photos, so the pack on screen comes from your footage; its crops, captions, colour treatment and timing are what you review. Generative video tools create new frames, so inspect every generated shot for changed label text, shape and colour.

## Your next video starts here.

Bring the footage. Tell us the idea. Shape the edit.
