How to make etsy product videos from your footage

Begin with the finished item, show the craft details and end on a clear overall view.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring handmade item details, material texture, scale and packaging clips. 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

Begin with the finished item, show the craft details and end on a clear overall view.

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.

Make the next version more specific

Preserve the real finish and avoid cropping out the scale reference.

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.
