# Create several video versions from one shoot

Reuse your source footage across separate briefs for different hooks, stories, lengths and formats. Shorty renders each version as its own edit for review.

## When to use it

For brands testing product-ad openings, agencies making client deliverables, and creators giving one trip or shoot several distinct stories.

## Inputs, decisions and output

| Part | Details |
| --- | --- |
| You provide | Reusable footage and one brief per output. Each version needs its own audience, message or opening idea. |
| Shorty handles | An edit plan and rendered output for each submitted brief. The batch controls let you prepare multiple briefs in the composer. |
| You control | The footage attached to each brief, its story, opening, ending, duration and output canvas. Duplicate a brief, then change its direction. |
| You receive | Separate MP4 outputs. Review and publish each approved file through your usual channel. |

## How to use it

- Prepare the first brief with its footage and output settings.
- Use + to duplicate the active brief or add another version.
- Change each brief to a distinct hook or story and check its footage.
- Use the batch submission when available, then review the separate results and credit use.

## Example instruction

Adapt this instruction to your footage and review the result.

Make a 15-second vertical product ad from this shoot. Open with the product solving the problem, show one close-up demonstration and finish with the supplied product name. Use the same restrained caption style as the other campaign versions.

## What to check

A new version needs its own direction. Repeating the same brief does not establish a controlled creative test.

Available batch size and credit requirements are shown in the product. Output review, ad testing, scheduling and publishing remain separate steps.
