How to edit Instagram videos for TikTok with AI

Adapt the opening, vertical framing and caption placement for a fresh TikTok cut.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring your original Instagram video file and its clean source clips where available. 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

Adapt the opening, vertical framing and caption placement for a fresh TikTok cut.

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 your original Instagram video file and its clean source clips where available. Adapt the opening, vertical framing and caption placement for a fresh TikTok cut. Use my supplied wording for titles. Use the original upload rather than a platform download with burned-in interface graphics.

Make the next version more specific

Use the original upload rather than a platform download with burned-in interface graphics.

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.

Questions, answered.

What footage should I use?
