SideShift Editorial
White boards drift and never settle, an iris opens instead of a cut, and words land with a blank beat between them.
What SideShift Editorial does to your footage
Full-screen white boards pan or rest and never quite land. Cuts are replaced by an iris that opens from the center of the frame. Captions land one phrase at a time, with a beat of empty screen between them. It sits beside UGC Explainer and Slot Captions: same caption family, different plates.
- White boards that pan, rest, or drift and never settle.
- An iris in place of a hard cut.
- Captions with a blank beat between phrases.
- A calendar plate that drifts, and letters that un-scramble in place.
A real cut in this style
This clip was edited by Clypmint in the SideShift Editorial style. It is not a mockup.
What footage suits SideShift Editorial
- A vertical explainer or product story with speech.
- A founder update that wants boards and captions, not a collage.
- A take between 15 seconds and 3 minutes.
What SideShift Editorial will not do
It needs speech to land words against, and it is built first for a tall frame. Silent footage has nowhere for the captions to sit.
How to edit a video in the SideShift Editorial style
- Upload your footage. Drop in the recording you already made. Clypmint transcribes it and finds where the usable takes are.
- Pick SideShift Editorial. Choose SideShift Editorial from the style picker. Its whole editing grammar comes with it.
- Let it cut. Clypmint cuts the dead air, sets the captions the way SideShift Editorial sets them, and places that style's graphics on the beats where they belong.
- Change it in a sentence. Tell the AI editor what to change. It edits the timeline you already have rather than starting over.
- Export it. Download the finished file. On a paid plan there is no mark on it.
How long should my footage be?
SideShift Editorial is built for footage between 15 seconds and 3 minutes. Shorter than that and the style has no room to put its graphics anywhere. Longer than that and it runs out of vocabulary before your recording ends. Your plan also sets the longest single file you can upload, and that limit is listed on the pricing page.
What shape of video does it make?
SideShift Editorial is vertical, for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. It also runs at 16:9.
