How to brief a calm video edit

Start with a clear direction

Ask for complete movements, restrained transitions and enough time to see small details. Identify the natural sound that should remain audible.

Put it into your edit

Upload your clips to Shorty and describe the result you want. Add a reference if it helps show the pace or visual treatment. Play the first cut, then use chat to shape the next version.

An instruction to make your own

Check the detail that matters

Slow pacing still needs progression. Remove shots that add neither context nor a new detail.

Keep the next change focused

Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. For a title, supply the replacement words. For pacing, identify the shot that needs more or less time. Play the surrounding sequence after the revision to hear and see how the change fits.
