Use a simple description of the intended relationship. Make sure the new position stays clear throughout the moving shot. ## Check the detail that matters Make sure the new position stays clear throughout the moving shot. ## 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. ## 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. ## Questions, answered. ### How do I apply this in Shorty?
