How to make gaming videos from your footage

Keep enough setup to understand the action and emphasize the decisive moment.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring your gameplay capture, relevant reactions and the selected sequence. 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.
