Short-Form Video Editor Needed

Raw vertical clips from my shoots need to be transformed into scroll-stopping Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. I already have reference links that show the exact pacing, energy and look I’m after, so you’ll never be guessing about style. Expect modern jump-cuts, sharp sound design, and minimal, clean motion graphics that enhance the story without overwhelming it.

AI tools such as Kapwing, Descript, Runway or similar are part of the workflow here; I value their speed and the creative options they unlock, so please be comfortable weaving them into the edit.

Scope of work
• Receive a folder of footage plus the chosen reference reel.
• Edit into a 15–60 sec vertical video: on-trend transitions, dynamic captions, tasteful effects.
• Apply colour, audio clean-up and final export in 1080 × 1920.
• Return the finished file (and project file) by the agreed deadline—consistency is key.

Acceptance criteria
1. Retains viewer attention in the first 3 seconds.
2. Graphics remain minimal and clean, reflecting the references supplied.
3. Suitable for immediate upload to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts; no additional tweaks required.
4. Delivered on time, every time.

If you have 1–2 years of solid short-form editing behind you and thrive on turning quick ideas into polished, high-retention videos, let’s talk.
