How to edit a video for archive fashion sale

Turn rail, individual garment and try-on clips into a story for vintage clothing sellers. Introduce the collection through complete looks, material detail and filmed movement.

Give the video a clear purpose

Introduce the collection through complete looks, material detail and filmed movement.

Think about what vintage clothing sellers need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

Build your shot list

  1. The clothing rail
  2. A garment being shown or tried on
  3. A label or condition detail
  4. The wearer moving naturally
  5. The complete item

Put the moments in order

Open with the clothing rail. Connect it to a garment being shown or tried on and a label or condition detail, then use the wearer moving naturally to add detail. Finish with the complete item.

Use supplied collection and product names; keep text clear of garment details.

Try this editing prompt

Create a 30-second vertical video from my rail, individual garment and try-on clips.

Use supplied collection and product names; keep text clear of garment details.

Polish the details

Replace a detail-first opening with a complete look while preserving the reference rhythm.

Find another story in the same shoot
