Narrative Reels Editor Wanted - 19/01/2026 06:06 EST
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I have a steady stream of raw footage that needs to be turned into engaging Instagram-style Reels built around a clear narrative arc and smooth, seamless transitions. Each reel must carry on-screen captions, a carefully chosen music bed, and light, tasteful effects that highlight key moments without overwhelming the story.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Edit short vertical videos (15–60 s) for promotional, brand-awareness, educational, trend-based, testimonial, event-highlight, and before-after themes.
• Shape every cut so the storyline feels natural and cohesive, avoiding jumpiness while keeping the pace lively.
• Add dynamic, on-brand captions (burned-in, error-free, easy to read) and synchronize them precisely to speech.
• Select royalty-safe music that complements the mood, then mix it so dialogue always sits clearly on top.
• Layer in basic effects—subtle zooms, motion graphics callouts, and color tweaks—to enhance viewer retention.
• Deliver final files in 1080 × 1920 MP4 (H.264), under 50 MB each, ready for immediate upload to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
I typically supply B-roll, logos, and a rough content outline. You handle everything from first assembly to export, then return both the final render and the editable project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut—whatever you prefer). Turnaround for most reels is 48 hours, with quick tweaks welcomed after review.
If this matches your skill set and workflow, let’s start with a single test reel and grow from there.
