Instagram Reels Video Editing

I need a skilled video editor to turn raw clips into scroll-stopping Instagram content. The goal is to produce vertical Reels that feel native to the platform and ready to publish as soon as possible.

Here’s what I’m after:
• 100% Instagram-optimized: 9:16 aspect ratio, snappy pacing, strong hook in the first 3 seconds, on-trend transitions, and dynamic text overlays or captions that are easy to read on mobile.
• Clean, contemporary color grading and sound design that match the vibe of current Reels. Feel free to suggest royalty-free music or pull trending audio if licensing allows.
• Light motion graphics or animated elements to emphasize key moments without overwhelming the footage.
• Fast turnaround: I’d like the first cut within a few days of receiving the assets and final approval-ready version shortly after feedback.

Deliverables:
1. One finished Reel exported in the highest quality Instagram supports.
2. An alternate export without baked-in captions (for future tweaks).
3. The editable project files (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or your preferred NLE).

I’ll provide the raw footage, a rough storyline, branding guidelines, and any reference Reels that capture the desired style. If all goes well, there’s potential for ongoing edits each month. Let me know your preferred workflow, past Instagram work, and how quickly you can start.
