Smooth Cinematic Shorts Editor

I have a steady stream of raw footage that needs to be shaped into polished, entertainment-focused shorts for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Each clip will be under 60 seconds, but I want them to feel rich and cinematic—think tasteful color grading, gentle motion, seamless transitions, and audio that enhances the mood without overwhelming the visuals.

You’ll receive neatly labelled source files plus any reference material I have on hand. From there, I’d like you to:

• Trim and arrange the best takes to keep the pacing tight while preserving a story arc.
• Apply smooth, film-like transitions, light motion graphics, and subtle titles when it helps the narrative.
• Grade for a clean, high-end look (no harsh oversaturation).
• Mix in royalty-free music or sound design that suits an entertainment vibe.
• Export in a vertical 9:16 format (1080×1920), H.264, ready for direct upload.

I appreciate clear communication and quick turnarounds; most edits will need a first draft within a few days of receiving the files. If you also handle light photo touch-ups for thumbnails or cover images, that’s a bonus, but the main priority is the video work.

When you reply, please link to at least two short-form videos that showcase this smooth, cinematic style. Let me know your typical timeline per one-minute piece and any questions you have about the creative direction. Looking forward to collaborating!
