Which files should I add to a Shorty edit?

Add source video clips or supported photos that show your story. Each uploaded source video can be up to 1 GB. An optional reference can be MP4, MOV, or WebM up to 256 MB. You can also import selected videos from an accessible shared Google Drive folder.

Why might a file fail to add?

Read the file’s error message. Check its size and whether it plays in your browser. If its encoding cannot be read, export a compatible MP4 from your media tool and try that copy. Renaming the file extension does not convert its contents.

Which clips should I choose?

Select the views needed for the opening, demonstration, and ending. Supply another angle if a vertical crop would hide the product or speaker. Keep original files for later changes.

Can I use reference audio?

The reference soundtrack may be used in the rendered result. Choose audio you are allowed to use for the intended publication.

Questions, answered.

Is a reference source footage?

A reference guides the treatment. Add the clips you want shown as source media.

Does the folder workflow sync my whole Google Drive?

No. It uses the folder link you provide and the videos you select.
