YouTube Shorts & Reels Editing

I have raw footage that needs to become an eye-catching 9:16 short, perfect for YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels and aimed squarely at a teenage audience.

Here’s exactly what the finished file must include:
• Clean, punchy cuts that keep the pace fast.
• On-screen captions or dynamic text timed to the beat.
• Trend-appropriate background music (royalty-free).
• Smooth, modern transitions and a touch of basic motion graphics or effects where they add energy.
• Colour-corrected and noise-balanced visuals.
• Exported as a high-quality 1080 × 1920 px H.264 .mp4, ready to upload without extra tweaks.

You’ll receive the raw clips (and any brand assets) via Google Drive, along with a quick outline of the key moments I want highlighted. Please trim the footage down to the strongest 15–60 seconds, add the elements above, and return both the final edit and the project file so future tweaks are easy.

I’m happy if you prefer Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or even CapCut—use whichever lets you move fastest while preserving quality. Turnaround within three days of receiving the files would be ideal.

Send a recent short you’ve cut for social (preferably one that resonated with teens) so I can gauge style fit, and let’s get started.
