How to make video color correction from your footage

Request consistent brightness, contrast and color across adjacent shots.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring clips of the same subject under different lighting and a neutral reference if available. 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

Request consistent brightness, contrast and color across adjacent shots.

Try a 20-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 20-second 9:16 video from my clips of the same subject under different lighting and a neutral reference if available. Request consistent brightness, contrast and color across adjacent shots. Use my supplied wording for titles. Check skin tones and real product colors and avoid treating a darker clip as evidence of a different material.

Make the next version more specific

Check skin tones and real product colors and avoid treating a darker clip as evidence of a different material.

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.

Questions, answered.

What footage should I use?

Clips of the same subject under different lighting and a neutral reference if available. Choose the takes that support the sequence you want.

Can I use a different duration or format?

Yes. The 20-second 9:16 prompt is a starting point. Describe the length and canvas your video needs, then check the rendered result.
