Short-Form Social Media Video Editor

I need a series of vertical, 15-60-second stories crafted from my raw footage for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. The finished videos must flow like mini-narratives—clear beginning, middle and end—paced to music with smooth, purposeful cuts rather than flashy effects.

The work covers selecting the strongest moments, arranging them into a cohesive arc, colour and audio balancing, adding a royalty-free soundtrack and exporting in 9:16 MP4 ready for immediate upload. Subtle on-screen text or graphics are welcome when they strengthen the storyline; anything that distracts from the flow should be left out.

Deliverables
• One fully edited vertical video per brief (1080 × 1920, H.264)
• Licensed background track embedded and mixed
• Project file from your NLE so minor tweaks remain possible

Acceptance criteria
• Narrative hooks viewers within the first three seconds and feels complete by the final frame
• Music, cuts and transitions are beat-matched and free of copyright issues
• File uploads cleanly to TikTok, Reels and Shorts with no further adjustments

Consistent quality and quick turnarounds will lead to ongoing work, so please point me to a couple of similar storytelling shorts you’ve already produced.
