Start with the moments that tell the story
Bring your original recording and the section selected for a short cut. 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 desired passage, preserve the important setup and remove unrelated sections.
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 your original recording and the section selected for a short cut. Keep the desired passage, preserve the important setup and remove unrelated sections. Use my supplied wording for titles. Upload the original file rather than expecting a YouTube URL to provide footage.
Make the next version more specific
Upload the original file rather than expecting a YouTube URL to provide footage.
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.
