How to make vlogs from your footage

Keep the viewer oriented as locations or activities change and finish the story you open.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring a selected personal story with establishing clips, narration and a result. 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

Keep the viewer oriented as locations or activities change and finish the story you open.

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.

Make the next version more specific

Preserve chronology where rearrangement would change what happened.

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.
