How to make neon-style video intros from your footage

Request a bright accent title and a short reveal over the supplied opening footage.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring dark or high-contrast footage, your title and existing logo. 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

Request a bright accent title and a short reveal over the supplied opening footage.

Try a 10-second 16:9 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 10-second 16:9 video from my dark or high-contrast footage, your title and existing logo. Request a bright accent title and a short reveal over the supplied opening footage. Use my supplied wording for titles. Keep glow and movement from making the name difficult to read.

Make the next version more specific

Keep glow and movement from making the name difficult to read.

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.
