How to make tech video intros from your footage

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring a device or screen demonstration and the video title. 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

Open on the device or interface in action and introduce the exact topic.

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.

Make the next version more specific

Keep model names and visible interface labels accurate.

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.
