Short-Form Social Video Editing -- 2

I have a steady stream of 30–60-second clips that need to be turned into sharp, scroll-stopping Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Because these videos represent client brands, the finished pieces must feel professional and polished rather than casual or gimmicky.

Here’s what each edit usually involves:
• Tight, well-timed cuts that keep the energy up
• Clean captions or on-screen text (exact style is flexible; I’m open to your creative ideas)
• Simple, tasteful transitions suited to vertical, mobile-first viewing
• Royalty-free music or sound effects that complement the footage
• Final delivery in 1080 × 1920, MP4 or MOV, ready for upload

Fast turnaround is important—most projects need a 24- to 48-hour window—so a streamlined workflow in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or a comparable tool is preferred.

I’m building a young social-media-management startup, so while the current rates are modest, the volume of work is growing quickly. Consistently high-quality edits will lead to a long-term collaboration with higher pay as the client roster expands.

If this sounds like the right fit, send over a quick note with a link to two or three of your best short-form edits and tell me which software you prefer to use. Looking forward to working together on content that looks sleek, professional, and utterly shareable.
