How to trim videos with AI

Remove unwanted material before and after the chosen action or statement.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring a source clip and the start and end moments you want to keep. 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 unwanted material before and after the chosen action or statement.

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 source clip and the start and end moments you want to keep. Remove unwanted material before and after the chosen action or statement. Use my supplied wording for titles. Keep complete words and the full result of any visible action.

Make the next version more specific

Keep complete words and the full result of any visible action.

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.
