Instagram Reels Editing & Clean Thumbnails - 11/06/2026 12:57 EDT
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a steady stream of raw footage that needs to be turned into polished, scroll-stopping Instagram Reels. Each clip should come out fast-paced, punchy, and sized perfectly for 9:16, complete with smart cuts, subtle motion graphics, on-brand captions, and royalty-free background music that blends smoothly.
Although Reels are my main focus, I also publish every video on YouTube. For that platform I want a matching, minimalistic, clean thumbnail designed for every upload—no busy colours, no cluttered text. Think crisp imagery, just enough negative space, and a concise title line that pops even on small screens.
Deliverables
• Final 1080×1920 MP4 Reel, colour-graded and ready to post
• One PNG thumbnail (1280×720) in the minimalistic style described
• All project files (Premiere/Final Cut/After Effects or equivalent, plus layered PSD/AI for the thumbnail) so I can make tweaks later if needed
Everything must be turned around within 48 hours of receiving the raw footage, and I’ll provide branding guidelines and previous examples once we get started. If this workflow and aesthetic suit you, let’s get the first batch moving.
