Can AI match the pacing and style of a reference video?
Yes. Shorty reads a reference video’s cut rhythm, caption placement and highlighted words, transitions, framing and colour, then applies them to your own clips. In music edits it checks every cut against the beat. Name the parts that matter in your brief; anything you write wins over the reference.
Pacing is how long each shot stays on screen and where the cuts fall. Reference Match 2.0 cuts your clips as quickly as the reference and, when the edit is cut to music, moves any cut that misses the beat before you see the video.

What happens
“Match the reference’s pace”
Shot lengths follow the reference.
“Same caption style and placement”
Captions sit where the reference puts them, with the same words highlighted.
“Recreate it one to one”
The opening and titles are rebuilt with your clips.
Fast pacing needs enough distinct shots. If the reference cuts every half second and you supply three long clips, the edit cannot invent new angles; Shorty uses every clip before it shows one twice. Add more angles or ask for a slower cut.
