Tell your story. Bring a reference you love and your own footage. Give your Reel a clear pace, mood and visual direction. ## Bring the story into focus Use a reference to explain the rhythm and caption treatment you want. ## Put your footage to work Start with your original clips, the spoken point you want to keep and an optional reference for pacing or captions. Name the opening, detail sequence and ending in your own source footage; use the reference only for selected editing traits. ## Start with a prompt like this Create a video for creators using my footage. Use a reference to explain the rhythm and caption treatment you want. Name the opening, detail sequence and ending in your own source footage; use the reference only for selected editing traits. Use my supplied titles and closing message. ## Shape the next version in chat Watch the edit, collect your feedback and tell Shorty what to change. Supply a preferred shot or exact replacement title when it helps make the direction clear. ## Keep the ideas coming ### More for creators Turn everyday clips into stories worth sharing. Give Shorty your footage and an idea, then shape the edit with a reference or a few words. ### Explore the workflow Give Shorty a reference video and your own source clips, then describe which editing traits matter: pacing, shot order, captions, transitions or color. Shorty analyzes the reference and uses your footage to build a new MP4. The reference guides the edit; its visual frames are not substituted for your footage. ### Make the next version Shorty is an AI video editor you can revise by chat. Open an existing edit and describe the change in plain language, such as a new opening, different shot timing or corrected title text, or select an editable title or graphic in the preview and say what should change. Shorty renders a new version to compare with the previous cut. ## Questions, answered. ### What do I need to get started? Your original clips, the spoken point you want to keep and an optional reference for pacing or captions. ### What matters for this video? Judge the interpretation against the traits you selected and the footage you supplied. ## Your next video starts here. Bring the footage. Tell us the idea. Shape the edit. --- Published by Tools Products FZ-LLC. Canonical HTML: https://shortyedit.com/solutions/creators/reference-led-reels
