Start with the moments that tell the story
Bring footage with your recorded narration already attached and relevant visual inserts. 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
Align the visuals with what the narration explains and leave complete sentences intact.
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.
