How to direct an AI edit without a reference video

Start with a clear direction

Describe the opening, the supporting sequence and the last image. Name the viewer and the one idea they should remember, then add the text you want displayed.

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

Evaluate the sequence against the stated message before refining decorative choices.

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.
