Short-Form Video Editing Method
How do you shorten an explanation without removing the evidence that makes it believable?
Concrete example
Example: reducing a 95-second stain-removal demonstration to 31 seconds while retaining the untreated and treated comparison.
Reproducible workflow
Mark question, action and result, remove setup repetitions, keep one continuous proof segment and add manual text only where a cut would otherwise hide elapsed time.
Known limitation
Short-form has no universal duration. The correct length depends on the destination and whether the viewer can still verify the result.
