Instagram News Highlights Editor

I run a news-focused Instagram page and want our daily reels to feel as fast, clear, and polished as the information we cover. Your task is to turn raw clips I supply each day into concise news-highlight reels tailored specifically for Instagram Reels.

Here’s the style I’m after: energetic but not chaotic, driven by on-screen text overlays, lower-thirds, and clean animations that reinforce key facts or quotes. I’ll provide the colour palette, fonts, and logo; you weave them throughout so every post carries consistent branding. Fast, accurate captioning (burned-in), snappy motion graphics, and sharp cuts around the most share-worthy sound bites are essential.

The workflow will be straightforward: I send you footage plus a quick rundown of the top stories, you return an edited reel (typically 30–60 seconds) ready for direct upload, complete with an engaging thumbnail and subtitles exported in .srt as a bonus. Turnaround is ideally under 24 hours for daily stories; for breaking news, even quicker is a huge plus.

Deliverables for each reel:
• 1 x 9:16 MP4, 1080 × 1920, under 60 s
• Consistent text overlays & motion graphics matching our style guide
• Embedded captions + separate .srt file
• Custom thumbnail that hooks viewers in the feed

Please have a portfolio featuring Instagram-style news, explainer, or social snack-content so I can see how you handle pacing, text animation, and story flow. Familiarity with Premiere Pro, After Effects, or equivalent mobile-ready tools is expected—whatever gets crisp, lightweight files without sacrificing clarity.

If you’re passionate about clear, trustworthy news presentation and can keep up with a daily rhythm, I’d love to collaborate long-term.
