How to crop videos with AI

Crop around the important subject and keep the framing consistent across each shot.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring the original clips and a description of the area to retain. 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

Crop around the important subject and keep the framing consistent across each shot.

Try a 20-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.

Try this editing prompt

Create a 20-second 9:16 video from my the original clips and a description of the area to retain. Crop around the important subject and keep the framing consistent across each shot. Use my supplied wording for titles. Check movement through the whole clip, not only the first frame.

Make the next version more specific

Check movement through the whole clip, not only the first frame.

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.
