Showing facial expression of wise person in short video (7)
I believe the answer is:
visaged
'showing facial expression of wise' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'person in short video' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'sage' (sage is a kind of person).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'short video' becomes 'vid' (short for video; 'short' suggests a short form).
'sage' put within 'vid' is 'VISAGED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
