Verification notes

Shutdown: September 2, 2026 is an inferred dated archival-observation proxy: the original captured homepage explicitly confirms RawShorts has officially shut down. It is not a verified actual service cutoff or first announcement. The January 2025 original documents a full AI text-to-video workflow and its own browser account/editor; the company-managed profile also documents URL/data inputs. The current parked-domain redirect is not the closure evidence. Scope is the complete original RawShorts hosted video service; Minute Media’s support contact, other products and externally licensed media are excluded. First AI-version launch day, actual cutoff hour and time zone were not established. Closure source
Dates checked: Verified 24 Oct 2026
AI functionality: AI functionality source
Launch: The company-managed profile gives 2013 founding; the original January 2025 archive proves AI-version availability by then but neither establishes its first public AI launch day.
Location: United States · Miami. The matching company-managed AI video profile links rawshorts.com and explicitly lists Miami headquarters. Use the operator-headquarters city fallback, not a stock-media location or the later support provider’s office.
