Convert Stand-Up Footage Into Reels

I have a series of raw stand-up comedy sets that need to be repurposed as punchy Instagram Reels. Your task is to comb through the performances, pick the funniest moments, and trim them into scroll-stopping clips optimised for the vertical 9:16 feed. Each reel should include tasteful text overlays that highlight key jokes or set up the punchline without distracting from the comic’s delivery.

The flow I’m aiming for is simple: fast hook, quick build-up, solid laugh, clean outro—nothing beyond 60 seconds. I’ll share time-stamped notes of possible highlights, but your creative judgement is welcome when spotting hidden gems.

Deliverables:
• Edited, colour-corrected vertical MP4s ready for upload
• Hard-coded text overlays matching brand font (supplied)
• Matching captions (.srt) for accessibility
• One revision round per clip to fine-tune timing or text

Experience with stand-up pacing and Instagram’s compression quirks will help you move quickly. If this test batch goes smoothly, I have plenty more sets waiting.
