Start with a clear direction
Label the source clips by stage and identify the step that must precede the result. Use a detail insert when a small action explains the next stage.
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: Label the source clips by stage and identify the step that must precede the result. Use a detail insert when a small action explains the next stage. Never imply a missing or unsuccessful step was completed just to make the sequence smoother.
Check the detail that matters
Never imply a missing or unsuccessful step was completed just to make the sequence smoother.
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.
