Turn a young learner's Mandarin lesson into a story.

Turn your teaching recordings into a vocabulary lesson that connects a spoken word to a familiar object. Give Shorty your footage, set the sequence and refine the edit in chat.

Start with your lesson

Bring your tutor-led object demonstration, cleared pictures and checked character-and-pinyin labels. Select one complete explanation and use question text, slides and recordings you have permission to publish.

Give the video a clear sequence

  1. Introduce one object with the tutor's spoken word.
  2. Show the same word in your short recorded example sentence.
  3. Return to the object for the supplied practice cue and answer.

Set the pace around the teaching

Name the intended students, topic and video format in your brief. Leave enough time to read the question and follow the demonstration. For equations or detailed diagrams, choose a canvas that keeps the whole explanation visible.

Make this editing brief your own

Edit my YCT teaching footage into a vocabulary lesson that connects a spoken word to a familiar object. Use my tutor-led object demonstration, cleared pictures and checked character-and-pinyin labels. Introduce one object with the tutor's spoken word. Show the same word in my short recorded example sentence. Return to the object for the supplied practice cue and answer. Keep my original teaching, solution and pronunciation. Use only the wording and labels I supply. Keep characters large and the pace gentle enough to follow. Use tutor demonstrations and clear any child recordings before publication.

Shape the next version in chat

Watch the first cut alongside your source lesson. Point to the moment that needs a change, supply the exact replacement text or ask to hold a step longer. Review the finished MP4 before adding it to your course or publishing it.

Questions, answered.

What should I upload?

Your tutor-led object demonstration, cleared pictures and checked character-and-pinyin labels. Include the exact question, title and terminology you want shown.

Does Shorty write or mark the lesson?

You supply the teaching, worked answers and feedback. Shorty edits your media around your instructions; the tutor reviews the subject accuracy and the final video.
