Pro YouTube Shorts Editing

Job ID: 39771899

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I need a skilled video editor to turn my raw footage into engaging YouTube Shorts. While the platform normally favours clips under a minute, my concept runs a little over 60 seconds, so I need someone who can keep the pacing sharp and the hook irresistible even at that length.

Here is what matters most to me:
• The final cut must be optimised for YouTube Shorts (vertical 9:16, sharp resolution, crisp captions).
• Fast transitions, punchy pace, and eye-catching effects that feel native to Shorts culture.
• Licensed, trending music woven seamlessly into the edit—audio should drive energy without overpowering voice or on-screen text.
• Colour grading, basic motion graphics, and thumbnail frame suggestions included so the video stands out in feeds.

I shoot on a modern mirrorless camera and can supply the footage in 4K. Please be comfortable working in Premiere Pro, After Effects, or an equivalent pro-grade tool; I don’t mind what you use as long as the result is polished and ready to upload.

Deliverable: a fully edited Short (≈65–70 seconds), vertical format, with all assets packaged for easy re-upload if tweaks are needed.

If you can show previous Shorts that broke past the algorithm and held strong audience retention, I’d love to see them alongside your proposal.
