How to make videos for x from your footage

Put the essential context on screen and keep the sequence understandable outside its original thread.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring a short update, demonstration or commentary clip. 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

Put the essential context on screen and keep the sequence understandable outside its original thread.

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 short update, demonstration or commentary clip. Put the essential context on screen and keep the sequence understandable outside its original thread. Use my supplied wording for titles. Review the final text for missing context and ambiguous references such as this or yesterday.

Make the next version more specific

Review the final text for missing context and ambiguous references such as this or yesterday.

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.
