Start with the moments that tell the story
Bring your original video files and a short description of the edit. 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
Upload the sources in the browser, choose a target canvas and request a short first cut.
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 your original video files and a short description of the edit. Upload the sources in the browser, choose a target canvas and request a short first cut. Use my supplied wording for titles. Keep a copy of the originals and check that each upload completes before starting the edit.
Make the next version more specific
Keep a copy of the originals and check that each upload completes before starting the edit.
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.
