How to make comparison videos from your footage

Compare the same aspect in a consistent sequence and use supplied labels to identify each item.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring matched demonstrations or views of the items you are comparing. 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

Compare the same aspect in a consistent sequence and use supplied labels to identify each item.

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 matched demonstrations or views of the items you are comparing. Compare the same aspect in a consistent sequence and use supplied labels to identify each item. Use my supplied wording for titles. Keep conditions comparable and do not imply a test that was not filmed.

Make the next version more specific

Keep conditions comparable and do not imply a test that was not filmed.

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.

Questions, answered.

What footage should I use?
