Short-Form UGC Video Editing

I have a steady stream of raw, vertical UGC footage that needs to be turned into snappy social-media clips for Instagram. Each piece should hook the viewer within the first three seconds, ride the beat of a trending audio track, and wrap up in under 60 seconds. Think fast cuts, punchy captions, dynamic motion graphics, and on-screen text that always feels native to Reels.

Here’s how I picture the workflow: I drop the source files, a rough brief, and any reference Reels into a shared drive. You handle the edit in Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut, or any tool you’re comfortable with—as long as the final export is 1080×1920, H.264, and ready to upload. I’m expecting you to trim dead space, mix in royalty-free music or IG-approved tracks, color-grade to keep skin tones natural, and burn in subtitle captions for sound-off viewers.

Deliverables (per clip)
• 9:16 master MP4, max 60 s
• Separate SRT captions file
• One 4-5 second teaser cut for Stories

Acceptance criteria
• Immediate attention-grab within 0-3 s
• Trend-aligned transitions and pacing
• No black bars, no copyright-flagged audio
• File naming that matches my provided template

Quote me how do you charge for one reel. If I like your work we will continue long term.
