Managing Shorts
Edit, share, download, and delete your Shorts from the Shorts gallery and workspace.
The Shorts Gallery
Navigate to Shorts in the studio sidebar to see your Shorts gallery, displayed in a responsive grid sorted by most recently created.
Click the three-dot menu on any Short card to:
- Edit Short: opens the Short's workspace
- Download Video: downloads the latest finished render (only available once a render has completed)
- Delete Short: permanently deletes the Short. This action cannot be undone.
Once a Short has a finished render, click anywhere on its card to open a preview player. From the preview, use the three-dot menu in the top corner to download the video, or click outside the player to close it.
While a Short's video is still processing, its card shows Preparing video... and the preview isn't available yet. This usually clears in under a minute.
If your workspace has renders from the retired Clips feature, a View old clips badge appears at the top of the Shorts page. It links to Viewing Exports, where your old clip renders still live.
The Short Workspace
Opening a Short shows its editable workspace, organized around a rail of visuals above one continuous narration field:
- Visuals: a horizontal rail shows every shot in order. Click a visual to preview it, or open it to regenerate that shot with AI or drag and drop your own image or video onto it.
- Narration: one text field holds the Short's full voiceover. Editing it saves your draft, but doesn't regenerate the audio while you type.
- Change the host: swap the voice narrating the Short. This regenerates the complete narration and retimes every visual to match the new audio.
- Replace or remove the music: the original instrumental score can be swapped or removed, but not customized further
- Fix pronunciations through your organization's Pronunciation Guide
Editing the narration text doesn't update the voiceover automatically. Click Regenerate Audio above the narration field to produce new audio from your edits and retime every visual. You can't render, download, or re-share a Short while its narration is out of date; Jellypod shows Regenerate Audio before rendering until you do.
To see how your edits land on the timeline, click Expand Timeline at the bottom of the workspace. The timeline preview stays collapsed by default so you can focus on the visuals and narration, and Jellypod reflows the timing automatically as you make changes.
There's no full regeneration option for a completed Short. If you want a wholly different result, create a new Short instead of trying to rework an existing one from scratch.
Sharing and Downloading
From the Short's page, use:
- Share: creates a public link to the Short. Re-rendering pushes your latest edits to that same shared link.
- Download: downloads a previous render, or renders your latest edits and downloads the result.
Rendering or re-rendering a Short costs 5 credits per second of its duration. See Understanding Credits for details.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a Short fails to generate?
A failed first render doesn't discard your Short. The editable workspace stays available, and you can trigger a new render once you're ready.
Can I change the aspect ratio of a Short?
No. Shorts always render in vertical (9:16) format.
Can I regenerate the whole Short at once?
No. Rewrite narration, regenerate individual visuals, or replace the music instead, or delete the Short and create a new one for a different result.
Why can't I render or download my Short after editing the narration?
Narration edits save as a draft but don't regenerate audio automatically. Click Regenerate Audio above the narration field first; rendering, downloading, and re-sharing stay disabled until the audio matches your latest text.
