How to edit a customer testimonial without changing its meaning

Keep the customer’s actual words and the context needed to understand their experience.

Start with a clear direction

Choose the relevant complete passage, add approved supporting footage and keep captions faithful to the recording. Supply the exact attribution you are permitted to use.

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: Choose the relevant complete passage, add approved supporting footage and keep captions faithful to the recording. Supply the exact attribution you are permitted to use. Do not assemble separate phrases into a stronger claim or imply an endorsement that was never given.

Check the detail that matters

Do not assemble separate phrases into a stronger claim or imply an endorsement that was never given.

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.
