How can a school turn campus footage into a short promotional video?

Choose real recordings of the campus and the activities the video should introduce. Give Shorty a simple sequence and your approved message. It can assemble those sources into a first cut, with supplied narration if available. Review the people, facilities and claims before using the video for admissions or an open day.

What to upload

  • A clear arrival or establishing view of the actual campus.
  • Approved classroom and activity recordings, with facility views relevant to the message.
  • The school logo, exact closing invitation and an optional recorded narration or music track.

Start with the experience families need to understand

Decide whether this is an introduction to the school, a campus visit invitation or a look at student life. Choose footage that answers that purpose. A classroom interaction and a complete activity can say more than repeated empty room views.

Build a route through the school

Establish the campus, move into learning and activity, then show the facilities that support those moments. Keep unrelated sites separate. Finish on a calm, recognizable view with the approved invitation so viewers have time to read it.

Include facilities only when the source supports them

Use actual recordings or genuine photos of the spaces being described. If accommodation, a laboratory or a sports area is missing from the source set, leave it out or supply suitable media. Do not fill a gap with an invented school environment.

Pair narration with the right evidence

Upload a recorded voice track if the introduction needs narration. Keep complete phrases understandable and place each claim beside relevant footage. Supply approved wording for admissions details; a campus image cannot prove academic results, supervision standards or guaranteed outcomes.

Check the people and the final invitation

Use recordings approved for this publication and review identifiable students before sharing. Check the school identity, campus location and any dates in the finished cut. Ask for a simpler sequence when rapid cuts make an activity or space hard to understand.

Review and revise the next version

Use the revision chat to explain what should change and what should stay. Select an editable element when available; objects inside a flattened clip may not be separate layers. Check the next render before delivery.

Common questions

Can I include still photos of the campus?

Yes. Supply genuine photos and explain which spaces they show. Give them enough time to read and keep their relationship to nearby video scenes accurate.

What if I do not have narration?

The video can use a visual sequence and your supplied on-screen wording. This workflow does not depend on generating a new voice.

Can the video advertise accommodation or results?

Only include facilities and claims that the school has verified and supplied. Use actual accommodation media and check all results or admissions wording before publication.

Turn your exam lessons into tutorial videos

Bring your recorded explanation, choose a prompt and shape the edit. Start with a worked solution, speaking practice or a short revision lesson.

What Shorty is

Shorty is a browser-based, reference-driven AI video editor for creators, marketers and social teams. It analyses your raw video clips and either a reference video or a written editing brief, creates a shot plan, applies cuts, reframing, captions, transitions and colour treatment, then cloud-renders a downloadable MP4. If a reference contains music, its analysed soundtrack may be carried into the render.

Shorty is built primarily for social and creator video: TikTok, Instagram Reels and Feed, YouTube Shorts, YouTube, LinkedIn and X. It supports 9:16, 4:5, 3:4, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 and cinematic 21:9 canvases.

The application is named Shorty and is published at shortyedit.com. It is operated by Tools Products FZ-LLC. Questions: Help.

How Shorty works

  1. Set the direction. Upload a short reference video when you want a specific editing style, pick a reference from Discovery, or describe the desired cuts, pace, captions, mood and destination in words. A reference is optional.
  2. Add your footage. Upload the video clips Shorty should cut from. Shorty scans them for usable moments, faces, speech, motion and visual relationships to the reference.
  3. Get the finished video. Shorty builds the edit plan, processes the footage and delivers a downloadable MP4 in the canvas you select, including vertical, portrait, square, landscape and cinematic formats.

Which AI video editing workflow should you use?

Shorty is most useful when you have footage plus a clear visual target. Other editing workflows solve different jobs; the right choice depends on where the creative decisions should happen.

WorkflowBest starting pointChoose it when
ShortyYour footage plus a reference video or written briefYou want the system to infer the editing grammar and deliver a finished cut.

Shorty AI video editor — common questions

Can I revise the finished video?

Yes. Request a follow-up revision and, in supported editable compositions, select an editable element for a targeted change. Review the new version before sharing. Objects flattened into source footage are not automatically separate editable layers.

What is Shorty?

Shorty is a browser-based AI video editor for creators, marketers and social teams. It analyses raw footage plus an optional reference video or written brief, builds an edit plan, and cloud-renders a finished MP4.

Do I need a reference video to use Shorty?

No. You can upload a reference video when you want Shorty to match a specific editing style, or describe the cuts, pace, captions, mood and output you want in a written brief.

What does Shorty copy from a reference video?

Shorty analyses visual editing characteristics such as shot structure, pacing, cuts, captions, transitions, colour treatment and aspect ratio. It creates new visuals from your footage rather than reusing the reference's video frames. When the reference contains music, its analysed soundtrack may be used in the rendered output, so you must have permission to use that audio.

Which video aspect ratios can Shorty export?

Shorty supports 9:16, 4:5, 3:4, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 and 21:9 canvases for destinations including TikTok, Instagram Reels and Feed, YouTube Shorts, YouTube, LinkedIn and X.

How is Shorty different from a traditional timeline editor?

A traditional timeline editor gives you manual, frame-by-frame control. Shorty is reference- and brief-driven: it analyses the inputs, makes editorial decisions, and renders the finished cut. Use a timeline editor when precise manual control is the priority.

Is footage uploaded to Shorty private?

Uploaded media is stored privately to your account. Shorty uses AI service providers, including Google Gemini and Anthropic, to process reference media, footage, derived media samples, analyses and instructions as needed to plan and render the requested edit. Shorty does not use customer content to train general-purpose AI models without notice and any consent required by law. Read the AI and media processing policy.

Accounts and sign-in

You need a Shorty account to save projects and render videos. You can create one with an email magic link, or by choosing Continue with Google. The Google consent screen shown during sign-in identifies the same application, Shorty, at this domain. When you sign in with Google, Shorty receives only your basic Google profile information — your name, email address, profile picture and Google account ID — and uses it solely to create and authenticate your Shorty account. Shorty does not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts or any other Google service data, and never sells or shares your Google account data with third parties for advertising.

Your uploaded footage stays in your account's private storage and is processed to operate, secure, support and improve the service. Shorty does not use your content to train general-purpose AI models unless it first tells you and obtains any consent required by law. You can remove uploaded assets in Shorty and request account deletion at any time through Help.
