Start with the moments that tell the story
Bring a spoken source recording with the passage you want tightened. 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
Remove unnecessary filler words where a clean cut is possible while preserving the sentence.
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 a spoken source recording with the passage you want tightened. Remove unnecessary filler words where a clean cut is possible while preserving the sentence. Use my supplied wording for titles. Listen across each cut for missing words, unnatural joins or changed meaning.
Make the next version more specific
Listen across each cut for missing words, unnatural joins or changed meaning.
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.
