Interview Shorts & Reels Editing
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I host a YouTube interview series and now want to turn the best moments from each episode into vertical clips that will live on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. The goal is simple: inspire viewers, give them a quick dose of valuable insight, and drive them back to the full interview on my channel.
You’ll start with my existing long-form videos then edit them down to 15–60-second pieces. Each clip needs clean jump cuts, on-brand colors and captions, and a short end-screen prompt that nudges people to watch the complete episode. Please make sure the final files are exported in 9:16, platform-ready resolutions and optimized so I can upload without any additional tweaks.
Deliverables for each source video:
• A set of finished vertical clips (quantity to be agreed on before we begin)
• Hard-coded captions with accurate spelling and timing
• Subtle logo watermark and call-to-action end slate
• Separate thumbnail/frame suggestion that grabs attention in feeds
I edit occasionally with Premiere Pro, so if you use that—or any compatible workflow like Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut—the hand-off will be smoother for quick revisions. Share a recent sample of an informative or inspirational reel and let me know how many shorts you can typically turn around per hour of raw footage. Looking forward to seeing my interviews come alive in scroll-stopping form!
