Viral Social Media Video Editing
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I shoot regular lifestyle footage and now need an editor who can turn it into scroll-stopping content for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The look I’m after is fast-paced and energetic: punchy cuts, smart jump-cuts, engaging text overlays, quick zooms, and on-trend sound bites that hook viewers in the first three seconds.
Typical raw assets will include short vlog clips, B-roll, and the occasional voice-over. Your job is to reshape these into:
• 15–60 s Reels/Shorts in 9:16
• 60–180 s YouTube content in 16:9 or 9:16, depending on concept
I value editors who understand platform nuances—beat-matched transitions for TikTok, crisp captioning for Instagram Reels, and retention-focused pacing for YouTube Shorts. Color consistency, clean audio, and royalty-free music selection are must-haves.
Preferred tools are Premiere Pro or Final Cut, but I’m open to DaVinci Resolve or CapCut if you can hit the same quality. Please be comfortable sourcing trending sounds, adding subtle motion graphics, and delivering files ready to upload (H.264, maximum quality).
When you reply, share two or three examples of lifestyle edits that went viral or performed above average in reach or watch-time, along with a quick note on your turnaround time per video. Once we find a groove, this can grow into a weekly batch of edits.
