Low-Budget Reels Sound Editing

I have a batch of short reels from my own personal projects that need a punchy polish: cutting the footage into tight, scroll-stopping edits and layering in fresh sound effects that go beyond the usual realistic, cartoonish, or ambient libraries. Think creative, ear-catching audio accents that match jump cuts, transitions, and on-screen actions, all while keeping file sizes social-media friendly.

Here’s what I’m after:

• Clean, dynamic video edits for each reel (roughly 15-45 seconds each)
• Custom or sourced SFX that fit the unique vibe I’m aiming for—feel free to suggest approaches or experimental textures
• Final exports in vertical 1080×1920, ready to upload to Instagram and TikTok

I’ll provide the raw clips, reference tracks, and a brief for tone. You return the finished reels plus separate stems for any original sounds so I can tweak them later if needed.

Because the budget is tight, efficiency is key—please outline your typical turnaround per reel and any strategies you use to keep costs low without sacrificing quality.
