When to use it
For travel and lifestyle creators turning a shoot into a story, brands cutting a product demonstration, and agencies preparing a first cut from client footage.
Inputs, decisions and output
| Part | Details |
|---|---|
| You provide | Your source clips or supported photos, a story or message, and any moments that must appear. A reference is optional. |
| Shorty handles | Footage analysis, selection of usable source intervals, shot order, cuts, pacing and rendering. The available material determines which story beats the edit can show. |
| You control | The audience, opening idea, must-keep moments, intended ending, duration, aspect ratio and requests such as hard cuts only or no captions. |
| You receive | An edited MP4 assembled from the supplied material, with follow-up revisions available in the existing edit. |
How to use it
- Add the footage for one story or campaign to the editor.
- Describe what the viewer should understand or feel, plus any required opening or ending.
- Choose a format and duration, then submit the edit.
- Watch the selections and sequence; request a specific change in the revision chat.
Example instruction
Adapt this instruction to your footage and review the result.
Make a 30-second travel story from these clips. Build anticipation during the journey and save the destination reveal for the end. Choose the strongest source moments and keep the candid reactions with my friend. Use clean cuts and no captions.
What to check
Review chronology, complete actions and the meaning of spoken passages. Footage analysis uses sampled evidence; do not assume every frame receives exhaustive review.
If a shot or action must appear, identify it in the brief. Add missing source material when the story needs a moment you did not supply.
