Animated video borders inyour brand colours
A frame is the fastest brand signal in a feed. Set two colours, pick a width, and choose from ten animation styles — from a barely-there fade to a full colour spectrum.
How to use the video border in three steps
Scroll a vertical feed and the videos that read as "a channel" rather than "a clip" almost always share one visual constant. A border is the cheapest one to own: it costs no credits, takes ten seconds to set, and appears on every frame of every video you publish.
Set the width
Anywhere from a 1px hairline to a chunky 100px frame. Thin reads as premium; thick reads as short-form energy and gives captions somewhere to sit.
1 to 100
Choose two colours
Pick a primary and a secondary and Shorz blends between them. Use your brand pair and every video is instantly recognisable in a feed.
Two-colour blend
Add motion
Ten styles: none, fade, circular, moving circles, hypnotising grid, wave, grain, scratches, blink, and full colour spectrum. Subtle for corporate, loud for TikTok.

Why Video Border in Shorz
Brand consistency for free
Borders render locally, so they cost no credits and work on every run — including the free weekly allowance. It's the one branding element you can afford to put on literally every video.
No credits
Stacks with the rest of the look
Border, overlay effects, colour grade, titles and captions all layer together. Set them once for a channel and every video comes out of the app already on-brand.

Video Border questions
Ten options: none, fade, circular, moving circles, hypnotising grid, wave, grain, scratches, blink, and full colour spectrum.
Yes — set a primary and a secondary colour and Shorz blends between them, with the border width adjustable from 1 to 100.
The frame sits inside the exported dimensions, so at a large width it does crop into the picture. That's usually the point on vertical edits, where the border gives captions a clean band to sit against.
No. Borders are drawn locally at render time and are free for everyone, including on free Auto Edit and Clipping runs.
