Reels & Shorts Video Editing

I’m building a steady stream of bite-sized content for both Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts and need a creative editor who can keep pace with current trends. Every clip must feel energetic, scroll-stopping, and share-worthy.

Here’s what the job looks like:
• You’ll receive vertical footage, rough cuts, or sometimes just a concept. Your task is to shape it into a 15–60 second Reel/Short that moves fast, hooks viewers in the first few seconds, and maintains momentum throughout.
• The style I’m after is trendy and fast-paced. Think punchy jump-cuts, rhythmic timing, and bold on-screen text—nothing overly polished or corporate.
• Each video must include: eye-catching transitions, dynamic text overlays that highlight key points or captions, and complementary sound effects to amplify impact.
• Whenever a piece is destined for YouTube, deliver a custom, high-contrast thumbnail that mirrors the video’s vibe and entices clicks.
• Preferred workflow is Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut, but if you can hit the same quality in CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar tools I’m flexible. Just keep files organized and layered so tweaks are easy.

Deliverables per asset:
1. Final 1080 × 1920 MP4 (≤60 s, platform-ready)
2. Editable project file with all media linked
3. One JPG/PNG thumbnail (for Shorts)
4. A brief note on any royalty-free music or SFX used

I typically send 5–10 clips a week and aim for a 48-hour turnaround, so reliability is as important as creativity. If this sounds like your rhythm, share a link to recent Reels/Shorts that showcase quick cuts, bold text, and smart audio cues, and let’s start creating content that pops off the feed.
