Dynamic Instagram Shorts Editor

I need an editor who can turn raw, vertical footage into fast-paced Instagram shorts that balance education with light-hearted entertainment. Each clip will sit in the 15-60 second range and must feel native to Reels—hook in the first three seconds, punchy pacing throughout, and a clear takeaway by the end.

Here’s what the finished videos should feature:
• Seamless transitions and sharp cuts that keep the energy up
• On-brand text overlays, captions, and lower thirds for viewers who watch muted
• Simple yet eye-catching effects or light animations to underline key points without overwhelming the message

I shoot on a mix of phone and mirrorless cameras, so you’ll receive 1080 × 1920 footage along with any reference notes. The final deliverable is an .mp4 ready for direct upload plus the editable project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects—use whichever you prefer).

When you respond, send a detailed project proposal outlining:
• Your editing workflow and preferred software
• How you’ll weave educational tips with playful moments
• Turnaround time per reel and any revision structure you follow

That proposal is the main thing I’ll review, so use it to show me how you think and work. Let’s create shorts that teach, entertain, and keep viewers swiping for more.
