What it is
What Shorts does
Takes a written brief and produces an editable short-form video — cuts, captions and pacing — as a project you can still open and change, not a locked render.
You describe the video; it assembles a cut with captions and pacing. The important part is that the result is an editable project, not a finished export you have to accept or redo.
Everything renders locally.
How it does its job
Caption generation
Timed captions produced on-device.
Local rendering
No upload, no queue, no per-minute cost.
What it doesn't do
It automates assembly, not taste. A weak brief produces a weak cut.
