A targeted instruction is easier to review than a general request for improvement. [The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 30 September 2026 ## Key takeaways - Open the edit and use an exposed editable element when available, or describe the scene. - Open your edit and find the moment you want to change. - Review the next render to confirm both the requested change and the parts you wanted preserved. - Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. ## Start with a clear direction Open the edit and use an exposed editable element when available, or describe the scene. Request one concrete change such as title wording, placement or timing. ## One precise client revision. Same shots. A four-second final hold. This walkthrough uses recorded Shorty results. It is published by Shorty and is not an independent review. | Check | Observed result | | --- | --- | | Source material | Six supplied fragrance clips; four shots selected. | | Before / after | 2.5 / 2.5 / 2.5 / 2.5 seconds → 2 / 2 / 2 / 4 seconds, same shot order. | | Output | 10 seconds, 1080 × 1920, 30 fps, hard cuts, silent as requested. | | Observed intervals | First ready result: 14m 09s after submission.

Change the timing to 2 seconds for each of the first three shots and 4 seconds for the final bottle-trio shot, keeping the total length at 10 seconds. Keep hard cuts and the vertical 9:16 format. Do not add text, captions, new scenes or audio. ## Put it into your edit Open your edit and find the moment you want to change. Describe the new result in the revision chat. Select an editable element when the preview offers it, and include exact replacement wording for text changes. ## An instruction to make your own Use this direction for my video: Open the edit and use an exposed editable element when available, or describe the scene. Request one concrete change such as title wording, placement or timing. Review the next render to confirm both the requested change and the parts you wanted preserved. ## Check the detail that matters Review the next render to confirm both the requested change and the parts you wanted preserved. ## Keep the next change focused Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. For a title, supply the replacement words. For pacing, identify the shot that needs more or less time. Play the surrounding sequence after the revision to hear and see how the change fits. ## Interpret the result This is one recorded example. Test your own footage and verify the output against the brief before delivery. The complete narration transcript is linked above. ## Keep the ideas coming ### Write a clear editing prompt Describe the source footage, audience, format, story order and constraints. Tell Shorty what must remain accurate, which shot should lead and what the viewer should understand at the end. A reference video is optional; a clear written brief can supply the direction. ### Refine your edit Shorty is an AI video editor you can revise by chat. Open an existing edit and describe the change in plain language, such as a new opening, different shot timing or corrected title text, or select an editable title or graphic in the preview and say what should change. Shorty renders a new version to compare with the previous cut. ### Find an example brief Explore this editing workflow in Shorty. ### See the Revisions demo Explore the published Revisions launch film and learn how to turn a broad request into a focused change to an editable element. ### What can I change?
