Start with the moments that tell the story
Bring a spoken clip and a preferred caption style or example. Pick the takes that make the subject clear, including a strong opening and a complete ending. These choices give Shorty a useful starting point for the edit.
Give Shorty the creative direction
Use restrained word or phrase animation to emphasize the speech without distracting from it.
Try a 30-second 9:16 edit as a starting point. Include the exact title or closing message you want on screen. Add a reference when you want to show the pace, captions or mood.

Create a 30-second 9:16 video from my a spoken clip and a preferred caption style or example. Use restrained word or phrase animation to emphasize the speech without distracting from it. Use my supplied wording for titles. Check timing, line breaks and that emphasis does not change the sentence's meaning.
Make the next version more specific
Check timing, line breaks and that emphasis does not change the sentence's meaning.
Play the first cut and pick the change that would help the story most. Name the moment, describe the result you want and tell Shorty what to keep. A note such as “hold the final product shot longer” gives the revision a clear direction.
