Instagram Entertainment Video Editing

I shoot a lot of fast-moving, entertainment-style footage for Instagram and now need an editor who can transform those raw clips into sharp, 5-10 minute videos that keep viewers hooked from the first second. The final pieces should feel perfectly tailored for the Instagram feed, Reels, and Stories.

Here’s what the job involves:
• Cut the raw footage into a tight, engaging narrative that matches current Instagram pacing.
• Layer in dynamic on-screen captions/subtitles, upbeat background music, punchy sound effects, and seamless transitions.
• Insert light, eye-catching animations wherever they amplify the story or add comedic timing.
• Apply clean color grading and basic audio cleanup so everything looks polished and sounds balanced.
• Export in both 1080p and 4K, using a vertical-friendly aspect ratio when needed.

You can work in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve—whatever lets you move fastest without sacrificing quality. Experience cutting short-form social content is essential; if you already know the nuances of retention hooks, jump cuts, and meme-style overlays, that’s exactly what I’m after.

Deliverables at each milestone:
1. Draft edit for review (with captions and animation placeholders).
2. Final video file (MP4), separate caption file (SRT), and the editable project file.

Turnaround time is important to me, so please let me know how quickly you can usually deliver a 5-10 minute piece once assets are in hand. If this sounds like your kind of project, I’m excited to see your reel and discuss the first batch of clips.
