How to make event promo videos from your footage

Build interest around the activity and finish on a readable date, location and booking message.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring venue shots, performer or activity footage and the confirmed event information. 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.

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.

Create a 30-second 9:16 video from my venue shots, performer or activity footage and the confirmed event information. Build interest around the activity and finish on a readable date, location and booking message. Use my supplied wording for titles. Do not use footage from a different venue or imply unconfirmed performers will attend.

Make the next version more specific

Do not use footage from a different venue or imply unconfirmed performers will attend.

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.
