How to make professional profile videos from your footage

Explain who you help, show how you work and end with a clear introduction or invitation.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring a personal introduction, work examples and a supplied closing message. 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.
