How to specify what must stay unchanged in an edit

State preservation requirements beside the requested change. Mention the source moment, wording, framing or sound that matters.

Start with a clear direction

Separate editable choices from fixed facts. For example, allow a faster opening while requiring the complete demonstration and exact closing title to remain.

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

Use this direction for my video: Separate editable choices from fixed facts. For example, allow a faster opening while requiring the complete demonstration and exact closing title to remain. Watch the protected moments in the new render. A request to preserve them still needs review.

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.
